| Post subject: | The "New" Saga of #89 |
On The Strasburg Railroad Fan Page on Facebook, someone had posted a comment regarding the sale of Engine #89. He said he was at the RR this past weekend and said there was a For Sale sign in the cab window. Is there any truth to this at all, was it stuck there momentarily or is someone just playing a cruel joke? Granted, she is the weakest engine in the fleet as it stands, but she is a remarkably beautiful machine. If they are looking to let her go, WHY?! |

Someone probably stuck it there two weeks ago. |

*bangs head on desk* C'mon, do you seriously think they would do that, let alone by putting a "For Sale" sign in the Cab window, like some junker auto? I mean seriously, the people at the SRR are smart enough to know that Craigslist is a much better starting point for selling a loco, right behind Ebay. |

If that sign showed up on 475, I'm fairly sure we'd be making them an offer.................. |

I saw it out on the front lawn at SRR with a for sale sign, right beside the riding lawnmower and boat that they are also selling. |

I really hope this is not a serious topic. Do we really think the world's premier tourist railroad would place a "For Sale" sign in the cab of an engine to seriosley sell it. I think someone took a joke a little to seriosusly. All I can say is wow Anthony |

That's pretty much what I thought...someone in the backshop playing a trick and TRYING to be funny. Just wanted to verify it, that's all. |

This thread makes me wonder if economist Bryan Caplan's book-"The Myth of the Rational Voter" , could be rewritten about consciousness amongst railfans. |

Just seems odd if they would take that approach to sell a locomotive. I sure would hope they don't sell her. |
