GLOR will purchase them for their museum fleet if no other customers can be found that will use them in active service.
Bidding war! :lol:

The NWC&N intends to repower these engines and equip them for remote control use at the grain elevator in Newaygo.

As long as they will be used, I have no problem with letting you have them. Just don't want them become razor blades.

They will most certainly be put to good use. The trackmobile there is no longer suitable for the large grain trains in/out of there.

Good question, I hadn't thought it through like I should have. Routing would be GRE-GDLK for NS System trains and GRE-CSX for CSX System trains. It probably is not as easy as it would seem.

Also, how are the unit trains running to the GRSE? Are you getting them via the interchange with Grand Elk (GLOR), or via CSX using trackage rights?
