Actually it seems the railcar owner is still involved and unfortunately is unwilling or unable to make a decision to sell, donate, or scrap the remaining equipment. I am going to guess this will not end well, again, and that equipment will end up scrapped either by court order or the land owner tha...

I will provide insight on the equipment as soon as I'm legally able (waiting for some paperwork to be signed, hopefully very shortly). Everything will leave the property by rail, nothing will be scrapped without being offered to interested parties first. I can't say anything else at this moment!

My new venture, Steel Road Excursions, is operating its first private rail trip in June 2020. We'll be taking the Kitchi Gammi Club and Pacific Home from New York to New Orleans, with all on-board meals derived from original recipes from the SOU, ACL, and SP. The trip also includes overnight lodging...
