Yes, your friendly neighborhood Coe Rail Alco S2 is currently tied up at the West end on either Track 2 or Track 3 in East Yard in Plymouth. Saw him from the 275 overpass at 2:30pm.... They had it tied up with a covered hopper on Monday.... Did not see it yesterday.... then saw it today on my way to class......

I went over to East Yard this evening before police training class. Ex-Coe Rail #52 was infront of East Yard on track 1 by itself and no cars. It was in the back of the yard early this morning behind a few CSX GP38s and an ES44DC long-hood forward with 14 cars behind it. I got a fair shot of the S2 in the yard. I couldn't get too close to it due to the "CSX No Trespassing" signs.

Is it close to Haggerty or buried back in the yard? Might go by there tomorrow.

It was close to Haggerty Road today Eric. If it hasn't been touched by the yard job tonight, you should have a clear veiw of it.

Good videos Mike and it was nice meeting you. I was able to catch K385's power when it stalled. I went back to tell ya Bill and Mike, but you guys were nowhere to be seen.

Oh well. Sorry I had to leave early, but I had to work.

Its ok Chris went went to across the street to see Stitch and see if he wanted to go for a walk.
We checked out K385 and saw the 2nd unit was not running at all
and to make a long story short. they used Y205 and got him going.
Brian ( not on this form) took a picture of it going around the wye

Maybe it's the "new" motive power for WATCO. The grass is growing around the loco faster than the deal trying to be made!
