In case anyone was wondering what happened to these that had sat for years......(not the Hurricane Constitution Liners, these have been retired a while):

This guy sounds like a piece of work.

In June 2007, he found five 109-passenger SPV 2000's for sale by the New York Susquehanna & Western Technical & Historical Society. Built in 1981, the self-propelled diesel cars had been used by Metro-North Railroad around New York City until they were retired. He won't reveal the price he negotiated.This may better belong in another forum, but I found it interesting.
So far, the cars haven't cost Povlitz anything, because he hasn't paid for them.
"He's never come across with any money or anything," said Wayne Nilsen of the historical society. "He's waiting for some family to send him money."
Povlitz also hasn't paid Amtrak the $75,000 it billed him to move them from New York to Glasgow last October.
Next stop, Willoughby
