What did Pat C do if there was no dumping allowed?
THAT AARR GUY IS SHARP.
WE CAN'T GET ANYTHING BY HIM.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION---THE CAR WINDOWS WERE OPEN A LOT.
A GR88888888888888888888888 DAY TRIP AND WE NOW HAVE ANOTHER PUBGRUB PLACE TO GO TO---THE KETCH KAN TAVERN IN WATERLOO.
A WORD OF WARNING---WATERLOO/BUTLER/EDGERTON HAVE VERY ACTIVE POLICE DEPTS.
FOLLOW THE TRAFFIC LAWS AND YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS.
I HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE RAILFAN FRIENDLY .BUT NOT BAD DRIVER FRIENDLY

Re: BUTLER trip
Nice pictures ScooterB. I especially ike the one of the GP50 rebuilt into a 38.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
Re: BUTLER trip
I didn't know that Baldwin switcher was still at the grain elevator. Must have been hiding somewhere last time I came thru there, there was a blue EMD SW of some sort.

Re: BUTLER trip
THE BALDWIN IS AT THE FAR S.W.CORNER OF THE PROPERTY. IT IS JUNK AND I WOULDN'T BE SUPRISED TO SEE IT SCRAPPED SOON.
THE BLUE SW IS ON THE SIDING IN FRONT OF THE PLANT [N SIDE BY THE MAINLINE].
IT IS JUST LEFT OF THE LONE HOPPER IN THE PIC ABOVE AARON AND THE BALDWIN.
AARON TOOK SEVERAL PICS OF IT --HE'LL PROBABLY POST THEM SOON.

Re: BUTLER trip
Thanks Tops.
BTW, When we were on the Bridge in Butler We talked about why there was NEW rail ready to go in when the track was just replaced.
Scooter B. Photo:
I got to thinking. The new track that was just put down was most likely track panels. Lots of extra welds for the distance but it gets you up and running.
They may want to lay proper rail lengths to get rid of some of the joints.
Just a thought.

I think the recently sold one in Jeffersonville, OH when they partnered with Sabina Farmers Elevator at one in Sabina, OH. Read something about it but don't recall details.Mr. Tops wrote: Danville, IL (NS)

Re: BUTLER trip
It isn't completely junk... it would need a lot of work, but it could be restored. The Elkhart Museum was interested in it, but NS set too high of a price to transport it, so there it sits. No plans to scrap it, so it will probably sit for a good amount of time.PAT.C wrote:IT IS JUNK AND I WOULDN'T BE SUPRISED TO SEE IT SCRAPPED SOON.
