RS11 3601 is in a private collection in VT along with a few box cars and a caboose. I laid eyes on it 2 years ago. Unlikely it was scrapped.

Hi
I asked the following question on the thread mentioned by Chris above, but had no feedback. Anyone able to answer it?

I thought I knew lots about the motive power of the Lamoille Valley, but I've just seen something on Ebay that was a complete surprise. There are a couple of slides for sale, showing Cartier Geeps in Morrisville. What's the story behind the pair of Canadian built GP-9s. The slides are dated July 1990. One of the Geeps is in the older green and yellow scheme, the other in the newer orange and black. Any more on these?
Cheers

7802 was rescued from the torch, came across this info by chance, Wabash and Grand Rivers had it rebuilt as a dewit geep
Last I could find, it is prex 102, operable...
7805, before it was scrapped, had batteries and traction motors pulled and put in 7801 before it was sold to York-Durham and then back to D&L ....
7803 was scrapped in Feb 2012, 7804 in DEC 2011..

LVRR 7802 and Pioneer Rail 102 are not the same locomotive. LVRR 7802 was D&H 4125 and has been scrapped. Pioneer 102 is ex. Conrail 9931, CNJ 1549. It was painted yellow and green when it joined the 7803 and 7804 on the West Jersey.
