I stopped by the shops today, and the yard was filled with most of the ex-Amtrak cars. All the baggage cars had signs on the doors saying "HOME SHOP FOR REPAIR DO NOT LOAD"
1801 (Phase III Vermonter) was in the process of being scrapped. Half of the car was still intact; the rest was nowhere to be seen.
1185 (Phase III) was next to the remains of 1801, and will be the next to go.
11002 (Phase IV) was towards the bottom of the hill, awaiting its turn to meet the torch.
There were four MHC's up on the hill behind 487 and 7205. I would think that these cars will be moved into the yard for scrapping once the baggages are gone.
Also, as of when I was there (4:30), there was no sign of the new unit, 4204. I guess it will be spending the weekend at Lake Junction.
Photos to come.
