Don't rush out there without calling the railroad first. I understand that all 3 M420's (BTW are MLW) are out of service and may be up for sale.

The RS-11's will not pass FRA inspection until among other things, the doors to the cabs have to be modified.
LTV mining widened the doors to allow easy passage with a "belt pak" on. Remember, these used R/C up there.

At one time, there seemed to be indications that work was being done on at least one unit; Number 75.

Good to hear from you. How are things down in Jamestown? What is new and exciting? Ready for some heavy mainline action? I understand that the 630 is almost ready for service.

I don't know who took it, but look at it this way:
IF there are more NIMBYkillers than NIMBY's, we would have won the war...
Call yourself NIMBYkiller1
We DO need more NIMBYkillers.....

How about repainting some of the power you guys have running? May I suggest 1044 in Corporate colors....I know Mike would love that! ...OR how about 310?
As far as the next engine to rebuild, I suggest 351.
