Western Railroad Discussion > WNY&P--Long Way From Home

Found the WNY&P #6002 over the weekend sitting in a rather empty yard a long way from home.  So, any guess as to where this unit was located?  The obvious hint is the fact that I am posting on the Western Board.

Looks like the HDL is still in it by the two stacks.

Monett, Mo is correct....sitting on A&M trackage in the Monett, MO (BNSF) yard.

Nope, those were replaced with a 16-cylinder EVO powerplant a few years ago.  Even with the new powerplants, CSX decided to rid themselves of these units because of their higher fuel consumption, and being an oddball among the fleet.
 

These monsters sound absolutely fantastic!

I believe these are being painted and serviced as-needed at the Arkansas and Missouri shops in Springdale, AR before delivery to the WNY&P.

Both the EVO and the HDL are based on the Deutz 632.

Little semi-regional a few miles East of you, like Western New York and Pennsylvania.

Out

So this unit started out as a CSX AC6000CW?
