I caught it at stone rd in Cassville at 1:35 last wednesday heading to Sangersfield and at 4:30 same place returning. Not sure if that is the normal but my dad lives right there and was visiting him most of the day, so I got lucky for once.

No need to keep a building if work is at minimal at best. What a bummer. Always enjoyed passing buy to see what was sitting outside. Haven't been able to do that for a few years now and may not ever again. Amazing how fast things have gone down hill in a short time.

I was just wondering what the status of the sd 40 3020 and gp 40 3042 were? I see that they are in "cold" outside storage, do the still run or just waiting there demise??? Would be nice to see something other than the 3040 in Utica once in a while. Thanks for the info.

Kind of became ...

After hours of moving cranes, LONG trucks, blocks, and cabl...
