Or will 487 be a parts/salvage unit?
Since my friend continues to chain smoke nonstop, she is probably an Alco.

Drove by on I-280 this morning and a reefer was at B&G. It was not there last Wednesday, so must been dropped Thursday or Friday.

The same reefer (and two tankers) were gone as of this morning.

487 is parts, then scrap.
Verdict is still out on what will happen to 485 and 486. They're still intact enough to be made operational if the occasion arises.

Attention Ho-Ho-Kus passengers, the next westbound train to Waldwick, stopping at Waldwick, is now arriving on Track 3. Please watch the gap when boarding the train.

Passengers cars in the M&E shop for work on Friday August 3rd:
Former Bangor & Aroostook heavyweight office car 100 SUITSME is up on jacks inside the building for a "big ticket" upgrade ... Amtrak certification (full HEP and truck rebuild), a new kitchen, and other interior work ... the car's owner plans to take it to the AAPRCO convention (September 27-29 at Chattanooga), so the key work items must be completed by mid-September.

Been meaning to post - the membrane covering over the shop extension which was damaged some time ago and had been flapping in the breeze has been replaced. The new is white versus the old dark green.
7205 has disappeared from the shop area - did it in fact get sold and shipped?
