Hell have read that these engines 50,52 were bought for a shortline in the Eighty four Pa. area. Will be down there end of this month and would like to photograph them. Anyone know there location? Thanks Gene Shatrowsky

According to my Web Ninja skills, I'm guessing that they are locked up in a building if they are still there.

Here's the web page about the locomotive move:

I also found this picture of a RBLX passenger car in Eighty Four:

According to public records, RBLX is located at: 22 84 Drive, Eighty Four, PA
And the RBLX reporting marks belong to Brent C. Lewis.

Looking at Google Maps shows that passenger car outside of a building with two tracks going in:

(There doesn't seem to be a good bird's eye view bing map of the area.)

I'm guessing that the locomotives are parked inside of that building.

If you're really interested in getting a picture, I'd call the number listed here:

and see if you can talk with Mr. Lewis about photographing the locomotives.

Thank you very much for info. We were at this location but engines must have been inside. Didn't know if we were in the right place. Once again Thanks. Gene Shatrowsky
