A few, but not often. The most recent that comes to mind was the BM 100, (the slug). Last time I was there the concrete ballast block was the bumper for the track behind the tower.

Are there any Geep 9's sitting in Waterville in the dead line?

4 last thing I knew, 45, 52, 54 and the 62.

71 and 51 were on the hump, 77 is obviously not dead :D and 72 was @ NEMCO in Ayer.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if that number has grown, some of the running units may have headed up there for the heritage treatment...

On 08-16-2011 at 1300, 71 was at Horizon Milling.

71 North through Leeds Jct. ME. at 4:30 or a little after on 9/3. Was the 4th of 6 units. Looks like NEMCO's new switcher has arrived...

Yes, and last time I saw it, it was almost completely covered with flour from working at the Milling.

Yes in gray, not as covered in flour as pictures I've seen. You could tell it had been at the mill, but I think Irene took care of a lot of the dust.
