You have to wonder about people who offer equipment like this, give a month for someone to buy and remove the equipment, and do it during winter with three major holidays involved. Why not have a bit of sanity and start advertising this stuff back in October at least. Don't wait until the end of November and give an unrealistic removal deadline. And then to want to offer everything as a package, when most would only be in the market for one locomotive, not a fleet. Now there are three locomotives to inspect, buy, find shippers, prepare to ship, then move. All this while just about a full week of time is shot because of the holidays.

So how about planning ahead next time and don't wait until the last minute to offer something for sale.
