Hey y'all,
At the Balmber yard there's a line of OOS engines that you can see from 16th ave w. I don't know exactly what they are but they still have GN/BN numbering and look as though they'd make great museum pieces. My question is how long have they been there? When were they last used? What's the reason for keeping them there as opposed to scrapping them and is this a normal thing in most major yards I've never noticed before? Are these old gems sprinkled all over the country just waiting to eventually be scrapped?
Thanks.
