Taken in 2004, so not real timely, but looks a lot like that line of Pere Marquette 2-8-4s that languished at New Buffalo, Michigan into the early 1960s. http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?m ... 040221.jpg |

Always a sad sight and brings back some sad memories of cold Frisco engines lined up at Lindenwood waiting to go to Madison, IL for scrapping. I do take delight at the sight of dead diesels tho. No sentiment there for me. |

Oh, to have a video of Al Phillips telling, in great and strident detail, just what he we would do with "the last two diesels on earth." He's mellowed a bit over the years, but in his prime he could make the Norris Yard shop ring with his oratory. And send tears of laughter down every cheek within earshot. JAC |

Diesel electric locomotives are a major part of our railroad heritage and, if we have a "don't care" attitude, that part of our railroad history will be gone. Younger railfans have never seen a steam locomotive in mainline service, they know only diesels. |
