It's at the equipment dealer after it had been retired by the L&N. The stack was probably "harvested" before it left the L&N.

My thought is that the condition you see it in is how it left the L&N. ALLEN Date: 12/03/16 09:13 Re: Switcher Saturday - L&N 2309 Author: TCnR Wonder if there's a photo of the 'other' switcher:

In the 1970s they rebuilt numerous locomotives as slugs and also repowered some non-EMD units with 567s removed from retired passenger locomotives. RSCI operated from the former WofA shops, nearly all of which were razed in the 1980s.
