Enfield, Ill., grain elevator question
Author: mikecollins

Good morning--

Does anyone know what motive power, if any, Consolidated Grain & Barge currently has assigned to its elevator in Enfield, Illinois?

I'm specifically interested in knowing if it's still CGRX 103, an Alco S-2, ex-Florida Midland, exx-Frankfort & Cincinnati, B&O, and C&O. Understand that unit was active at that location as recently as summer 2007.

Thanks in advance--

Mike

Mike,
I am pretty certain that unit has been cut up/scrapped in the last couple years. Not for sure but pretty certain shes gone!

Sorry to hear, Mark, but thanks for the update. Think she was the last remaining of the four secondhand S-2/S-4 switchers that Frankfort & Cincinnati bought from George Silcott back in the 1970s.

Should you ever learn anything different, sure would appreciate a shout. You're a lot closer to southern Illiniois than I am in Maryland. <g>

Cheers--

Mike
