Howdy;
It seems about 7 orange cars are sitting in the yard in EC that is visible from the pedestrian bridge and the Resorts Casino employee lot. I will investigate tomorrow and return with photos if the coaches are still there. Keep in mind this is not on CSS property, rather conrail/NS.

ah bob harris comes thru

Two are mine (#s 3 & 5); five are National Park Service (#s 6, 23, 33, 107, 203). They are being stored at Mittal Steel at Indiana Harbor. There is no public access to them there. I have no idea how long we will be welcome at Mittal, but we hope and pray that we will have ownership of embargoed track in South Bend, Indiana, in August.
