I hope they take care of this unit and don't let it become an eyesore so that someone wants it scrapped.

Talk about parallel parking! It actually looks pretty neat, almost like a post PC merger engine.

I worry about it's future because of the sloppy paint job that it got. Just look at the very poor workmanship around the PRR medalion. If this were to be a rust protector coat of paint and not a final coat they would have taken more care in preserving the medalion. It's a great idea , but I am worried it will not receive proper care. In any case it is a very nice picture, Frank.

Surprised no one has commented on the Clip-On utility light fixture in the nose light housing

I know there have to be all sorts of safety precautions I can't see, but...wow, that engine looks like it could just roll right off those rails and down the parking lot.

That was one of the two PRR E8's that ran on the Blue Mountain & Reading back in the 1980's. Shame it won't be running any more.
