"Dec 13th, 2007
NC Power & Equipment will be dismanteling 12 Alco Locomotive's as of the 3rd of January for more information Please contact us for any parts or RTO units"

Could this be the BCR RS-18m's? Or is it something else?

Is this the Carolina Equipment Company in Mooresville, N. C.? If so, they are a CAT Dealer and it is possible the Alcos being cut are the ex-BCR RS-18m's. Just speculation on my part.
