Adding my .02$ for what it's worth and changing the subject slightly. Seeing the 954 needs paint why not paint it back into it's original Maine Central scheme? It is relevant and eye catching.

MikeVT, you ain't kidding about 3601 being hard to see. I had quite a time just finding where it was. Look like he has quite the collection. No pictures...

Seems there's been an awful lot of S4's scrapped in Mass in the last couple of years......
Is the other Alco in line for scrapping? I know one of these belongs(ed) to the RR museum in Fall Riv.

I remember seeing a picture of it being transported in Railpace when the private owner bought it. It was reported there the engine was gutted of prime mover, generator and traction motors to make it lighter. Any idea of the time frame? I have bound issues of RailPace back to 1984, I'll have to dig ...

Central Vermont RS 11 #3601

I've seen it quoted in a few places that #3601 is in private hands in Berkshire, VT. Does anyone have further info or pictures of this unit? Is it viewable by the public?

They actually have 3 44t GEs, the entire roster of Aroostook Valley RR. I think they have the snowplow too.
