Date: 09/23/07 14:18 Re: ex rio grande sd50's Author: texaswestern70mac many were patched, but in grande paint. up purged all of thier sd50's from the roster.... all of them showed up here at centennial yard in ftw last month. our yard here seems to be the ubiquitious death bed for up engines lately. yesterday i saw a **it load of sd40-2's in the deadline at centennial. i swear it musta been 50 engines.. sad to see such a classic going by the wayside VERY fast now....

As the economy continues to spral into oblivion, and traffic continues to decline the final days of the SD40-2's will grow closer at a faster and faster rate.

I just can't remember where at this moment. Will do a search later and find them.
KK Date: 09/23/07 18:25 Re: ex rio grande sd50's Author: LCW lemme clairify. There WERE several SD50's (I assume Ex- D&RGW) in storage at proviso. They were pulled from that line earlier this summer and sent to North Little rock. What happend after that I have no clue.
