Long story short:
Because some ____ bag wanted some pieces, these units haven't seen daylight in decades. Everybody loses while somebody has some "swag" on their mantle.
Someday those parts will be found. Woe to the community if somebody noteworthy has them!

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

I hope they push them off the end of the dock in Escanaba. "Underwater preserves" are all the rage these days.

Re: Baldwin Sharks
I would hope that someday they are cleaned up, missing parts replaced with replicas (again) and put back into limited service. A tourist line or maybe a short line somewhere. There is a certain loss of luster when rail equipment just sits on static display. Of course better than the entire loss of the equipment but maybe some of these treasures can be useful again.

That would result in a bigger Michigan-foamer meltdown than when 4449 arrived here.Pixl wrote:I would hope that someday they are cleaned up, missing parts replaced with replicas (again) and put back into limited service. A tourist line or maybe a short line somewhere.
