Mére's best friend (also my [x]gf's [~ex] step-mom) has this knack for living near trains... 1/2 mile from the BNSF Columbia River bridge, then alongside the former SP&S main, then across the street from UP's main line, and now 1/4 mile from what used to be Portland Traction Co. rails...

For scrap?

if 1067 has a vertical sealed-beam headlight then it's pretty likely to be from NC&StL

For sure, the MX624s. They were getting overhauled last year.

Well everybody brings up trainorders sometime or another. i guess ads arent enough to keep them going

MRS-1 is the GE version
MRS1 is the EMD version

Yeah and nobody did anything about it...

Well the trucks are still on the T-6...

I recall reading about that, what a shame!

Wow, neat stuff.
I alwayswanted to know what an 8-251 sounds like. What horn do you suppose is on the C-415?
