The S2 206 was moved to Maywood, NJ and placed on static display adjacent to the station sometime today. The move went without incident, and apparently without any advance publicity. Surprised to see that no one posted anything about this, although the move was made at the railroad's timing and ability to swing the main over towards the display track. In any event, the ol girl is now a "mounted memory" never to run again, and to sit and age next to the station(as opposed to the weed infested siding she sat in for the past several years in Ridgefield Park). Here's hoping she sees better care in her final resting place, even though she will never run again(I wonder who decided that static preservation is better than restoration). Cosmetic display or not, its still better than going to the scrapper.
I know I'm getting old... My insurance company sent me only half a calendar this year!
