Spotted both Modoc Northern SD's sitting at the north end of the Klamath Falls, Or UP yard.
No other info.

Rumor is that they are headed to the POVA shop for some work.

Out

They are now WRIX 650 and 651 (Western Rail, Inc.).

Any idea what the real price was? The previous thread sounded more like a PBS auction.

WRIX 650 & 651 are scheduled to be picked up by the MRVHK 20 tonight out of Klamath Falls. If that does happen UP 7408 will be their leader north. The train already has a good sized consist of power including some returned to service SD9043AC's.

The Modoc Northern Caboose 1480 still shows at Tule Lake on the UP computer. Can anyone confirm if that is still the case?

Its going to take a lot of work to get those units working. They never worked right. MN should have sued for merchantability.

Western Rail's Facebook page states they'll get chop-nosed, too.

As of December 7, 2016, the caboose was still at Tulelake and still in good condition. Amazing, IMO. Does anyone know who the current legal owner might be?  I have some interested buyers (three cabooses on the property already).
