I remember the Pioneer Railcorp operation in Salem N.J. operating some RS-3'sand a T-6. When Pioneer's contract expired and turned over the railraod to a new operator they left to go out to Peoria IL I believe. Does anyone know if they are still running sonewhere?

The ALCO's went to the Michigan Southern. Since that time, the T-6 was sold to the Georges Creek Railroad in Maryland. I am not sure of the present status of the RS-3's. Some of them were up for sale.

The RS3s that were on Michigan Southern are either on the deadline:

Or were sent to the Keokuk Junction, where they are on their deadline:

Any way you cut it, future isn't bright. These were offered for sale a while back, but the prices were EMD money, so Surprise no takers. Anybody wants to buy them, we can fix them for you, but I haven't won the lottery recently.
