Steam & Excursion > EBT in Mt Union

I remember not long ago visiting Mt Union to get a glimpse of old #3 in the enginehouse.  While there, I remember a large amount of narrow guage coal hoppers slumbering in the yard.  In reviewing the area on Google Earth, I cannot seem to locate more than perhaps 3 coal cars - and what looks to be a few standard guage tank cars.   Are the hoppers still there concealed by vegetation or have they been removed - scrapped?  :(  

Most of them are still in Mt. Union. The yard is getting quite overgrown.  You can barely tell they are there when you drive by.  A few of  the hoppers have been taken over to Rockhill for restoration on the EBT.

Yeah, those charter photo freights ought to be cool and money makers! How about a meet with two photo freights!

They have been doing a RR car removal/clearing project for awhile now.

Last week they were still in the trees. Lotta work around the tracks to the depot though.
