Surviving RS-11s

[scottychaos]

Update on this unit:

DW&P RS-11 3603 then CV 3603 then Depew, Lancaster, & Western 3603 > used as parts unit stored outside Lancaster, NY enginehouse S Dofasco B trucks 08/56 81937

It is no longer outside the Lancaster enginehouse..
it was moved (1-2 years ago) and is now parked inside the Gould coupler industrial park in Depew.
it is not accessable from inside the industrial park (private property)
but it is visable from the end of Erie Place, a small dead-end street off Gould Ave.
the unit is a derelict shell, and has been mostly stripped of usable parts.

3603 was scrapped in 2009.

I am putting together a list of all the RS-11 units that still exist for the next issue of ALCO NOTES. I am also including RS-36's.
The Maine Coast unit will be on the list providing it doesn't get scrapped first. It would make a nice museum addition (AHTS ?).

Are there any former Northern Pacific RS-11's still around today (in part or in whole)?

Thank you.

I am still working on this, but having difficulty finding out what the CURRENT Status of Amsterdam leasing RS11's are. Anyone know?

^Are those the M&E units?

From the M&E forum here:

RS11 #7205 - OOS at Morristown, RRPX-owned
RS11 #7215 - OOS at Jefferson Road, RRPX-owned

Spotted a ex-Maine Coast RS-11 coming eastward on a Norfork Southern freight in Cresson, Pa. today. It was the fourth unit in a four-unit lashup. Appeared to be working. Reporting marks of SVGR on the cab (Savage Services?). Didn't get its number.

^Going to the Durbin & Greenbriar Valley in WV.

One of the M&E RS11s has supposedly been sold.

[thebigham]

The ex MC RS11 is lettered DGVR 367.

[dgvrengineer]

367 was purchased by the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley RR to be used on their Shenandoah Valley division out of Staunton, VA. Unit is currently in Harrisonburg, VA to be delievered by NS to the Shenandoah Valley on Monday May 21. Unit is not currently operable, but will be worked on & put into service to suppliment the currently used GP9.

That's great news. I've been keeping my fingers crossed, hoping that she'd find a new home before it was too late.
