Hi guys, Just got word that Norfolk Southern is borrowing two of the Morristown & Erie's FL-9's today for the NS's Dover-Washington, NJ frieght. Get out there if it's not too late! Rob |

According to some Yahoo lists, the FL-9's stayed in Dover and are working east on NS local HO-2 today (Friday). And who says the preservation era doesn't support interesting revenue runs? Do you think the boys at EMD imagined their dual-power beasts would end up running local freights 40+ years later on the Lackawanna... which would be owned by something called Norfolk Southern (that wasn't a regional in NC)? The reason behind all this is that NS is short of cab signaled power in NJ this week. Hmmm... if they need some units, there's an $800,000 2-6-0 we could drop signaling into... Rob |
