Last N&W diesel heading to scrap

[NW Mailing List]

AMEN!  I couldn't help laughing at that, Jimmy. :)  And I agree 
whole-heartedly.  I, for one, would be happy to see every locomotive GE 
built scrapped, or at least parked in a museum where they can't hurt 
anything.

Besides, one unit out of a fleet, in the middle of the diesel era, seems 
much less significant than something like a Y6b.  Those were truly the 
last of a breed, and I cannot think of a more impressive specimen, nor 
one more worthy of being saved.
