Freight car scraping at Wyoming
Noticed last week that CSX has hired a company to come in and scrap a bunch of old freight cars near the piggy back ramp at the east end of Wyomign yard. Looks like Padnos is hauling the scrap away Lookes to be 2 cars already cut up and another 5-6 waiting for the jaws of death.

Rumor has it that The Mighty Marquette will soon be sending the POS 4433 to Maggie's lead for the grand finally.

Nope, a little birdie told me that the 4433 will be the first one in orange and black. The 3002 is going down there to pay for it.

We'll have to see what the GLLXGodfather does, he may or may not allow G&W to repaint the 3000s. It'll get interesting, IDK how long the lease is, but G&W might try to replace the 3000s with their own power.BOHICA wrote:Send the 05 and 01 to the paint shops first those things are tacky
Mere speculation at this point, of course.
