[thebigham]

4 more ALCOs for sale...3 ex D&H (4094 not listed on Joshua Blay's survivors list)

D&H RS2 4020. Went to LIRR and is now Michigan Southern 977. Had a steam generator while on D&H. Last known remaining D&H RS2. Operational $80k

D&H RS3 4071. Went to Lamoille Valley where it got the chopped hood and #7803, then to Western Michigan RR and got #203. Currently in Iowa.
Ran out of oil, seized rods to crank. $30k

D&H RS3 4094. Went to Lamoille Valley where is also got the chopped hood and #7804. Now at Michigan Southern. Missing parts, bad wheels. $40k

D&M RS2 466. Now Michigan Southern 466. Last ran in '97. Freeze damage. $40k

Prices seem high. Michigan Southern is owned by Pioneer Rail.

This post is from January 2008. The RS2 is listed as $80k here. Now they want $92k.

That's through a "dealer". Note the "make offer" box. (I'd bet you could get it right now for that $80,000. Or less, dealing directly with Pioneer.)

Too bad this MRS1 has friction bearings:

Great paint scheme and only $30k!

Word on the street A Washington Terminal RS1 was sold recently. Anyone hear this?

I heard the one in Newington VA was sold, discussed a few pages back in this thread. No other information...I may do a drive-by to see if it's still there.

From the Alcodiesel list:

"On Thursday, Oct. 15, the railroad museum in Minerva, Ohio is holding an auction, to sell off it's assets. Two of the pieces being sold are Alco S-4 #18, an old South Buffalo unit and former Ohic Rail S-2 102. I believe both units are serviceable, but both units still have friction bearing trucks. If anyone is interested in an operating Alco switcher, you might want to check out:"

Reports are the S-2, 102 has bad wheels.

These are the ones stored at Cass. They have been there for many years, and are in generally terrible condition. Cass just sold them a while back. I guess this latest sale is by the purchasers, who now hope to make a small fortune reselling them. Good luck with that.
