Has there been any update regarding this engine being restored/moved to Honesdale? I haven't heard or seen anything since the original announcement was made.

Stourbridge is still the proud owner of this fine piece of equipment. We will move it to Honesdale in the future. We are keeping quite busy preparing for our expanded 2017 schedule.

Hopefully I get up there this summer when I get to evict the renters, I need a little BL-2 in my life. It's been a while and watching my MTH Bl2 is just not the same!

Wasn't this once painted into ERIE LACKAWANNA colors?

What is the plan for 725? Original B&LE livery, or something different?

Hyatts aren't banned for interchange. As a common carrier, CSX can't refuse it but they can choose to make it horrifically expensive to move it. Find an alternate routing if you can.

Is it even on CSX? I thought they interchanged with ns?

Yes, currently in Lansing, MI stored on the Jackson and Lansing (Adrian and Blissfield)/CSX interchange track. Heard it was rejected to move by CSX a few months ago because the wheels are not within current spec. Left the MAL that way, and has sat since the MAL closed in 2012 at that spot.
