Whatever happened to this locomotive? http://yardlimit.railfan.net/baldwindie ... stx607.jpg I read that it is at the Illinois Railway Museum but I cannot find it on their roster. |

I do not know anything specific about this Diesel; but perhaps it is something that is in the works. They have a CNW Diesel Rail Car that was in Boston and it took years to get it moved back to Union. Ted Miles |

The photo caption at the original Railfan.net page claims the photo linked was taken at the IRM in 1984 and the loco was "used for parts"; the appearance of what appears to be a steam locomotive in the right background supports that contention. |

I believe the 607 was sold to help pay for Wynadotte Terminal 103, another VO-660. The YSTX engine was apparently in far worse shape than the 103. I do remember seeing the engine at IRM, but it was gone by August of 1986, when I started volunteering. Jeff |
