Has 690 been scrapped? Haven't heard about that one in a while either.

690 has gone to that round house in the sky!....Along with my favorite...621!
Any new arrivals/departures?

I know the Illonois Railroad Muesum was interested in the 690, but nothing materialized, but perhaps they are interested in the 643? They have lots of old emd power including a high hood SD24. Neat muesum, I have to check it out sometime.

Do we have visual confirmation that 690 was scrapped?
What are the current statuses of 643, 209, and 210?
Per these photos, 212 and 214 have been scrapped.

OHHHH!....I thought it was a new way of scapping an engine.hehehehhee!....Anyway! ...i understand the 643 was suppose to be traded to larry's Truck and Electric in exchange for parts.
Is there a possibilty that 212 may have been sent to a museum?

Nope, according to http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopi ... 55&t=89062 the 212 is on its way to being long gone...
Are there any 35's left up there besides 212 and 214? It's quite fitting that these were the last two running. I always liked 212 with the bell in the nose, and 214.....well.....I am going to miss her a lot.
Hoping for a rebirth of the Screamer fleet.
When I was just up there 210, 207 and 208 were all still there. 209 203 204 were cut up last year or the begining of this years.

Bill Gingrich hasn't updated his PAR roster this month.
I think it's safe to say all the units above are still out of service.

Bill Gingrich just put out his new PAR roster.
20 units are out of service or stored. (plus 2 lease engines)
5 units are off the roster (1 GP9 and 4 GP35s)
Of the 20 units, 11 have been out of service or stored since 2009.
