Hey NS fans,
I just got some conflicting info regarding the scrapped NS 2881!
We had a first-hand sighting of NS 2881, nee LV 310,
cut up in a gondola. Seems very reliable, and I have no reason to doubt it.
But I was just emailed this list:
http://www.altoonaworks.info/rebuilds/ns_56gp38-2.html
Which says NS 2881 did in fact go through the rebuild program and come out as the new NS 5655!
NS 2881 GP38AC -NS 5655 GP38-2 - Originally LV 310
So which is it then?!
WAs NS 2881 scrapped or not?
This is what I *think* the status of the four LV GP38AC's is right now:
LV 310 - NS 2881 - scrapped June 2006.
LV 311 - NS 2882 - rebuilt in 2003, in service as NS 5516.
LV 312 - NS 2883 - rebuilt in 2006, in service as NS 5627.
LV 313 - NS 2884 - Moved to Altoona 3/17/2006, hopefully to also be rebuilt!
But according to that rebuild list, all four have been rebuilt and are in service! Can anyone confirm the current status of 2881 and 2884?
thanks!
Scot
