C39-8 8551, the last N&W diesel, is headed to scrap. While the option still remains to buy it before it actually goes to scrap, the $65,000 asking cost is simply too high to generate in a week. It's a shame that the current politicos involving the VMT and Roanoke in general is allowing this to happen, as I'm sure a phone call to Wick Moorman outlining the historical aspects of this locomotive could quickly change things. I know now how the people who tried to save the last Y6bs felt...
