36 NS Locomotives stored in the Old Tie Yard..
Storage line of SD40 , SD40-2 , and C39-8 locomotives.
6910 sits on the dead line at Salt Lake City on August 1985, its working life just recently finished.
The remains of NS SD50S # 6501.
These NS SD50 locomotives were retired in 2000.
A little fire damage and a desperate financial situation resulted in this cannibalism victim no doubt. Such an object of morbid curiousity seemed to characterize every Milwaukee Road terminal.
This was the only way I ever got to see them, traded in, stripped and hours away from extinction.
Unusual view of an SDP40, one of several SD40's and SDP40's being stripped of internal components for rebuild. Have yet to see if they will be fully scrapped.
All sorts of long gone units in this shot.. SD40's, SW900's, GP9's, SW1200's, SW8M's with heritages from a plethora of long gone roads..
Introduced in 1949 these EMU’s were in service on the BR Eastern Region until the early 80’s upon withdrawal several units were towed to Great Bridge in the Black Country for scrapping at Cas... (more)
Yes, I was feeling physically sick. There were were carcasses of some really great old units all over the place.
10 C39-8`s await their fate at Debutts Yard.
Morristown & Erie RS11 awaits its fate with the scrapper's torch.
End of the line for LSRC 698.
An ignominious end to a long career. Another Lake State Alco goes to scrap.
