I've always enjoyed wandering around and through car salvage yards. Man, oh man, I would go in here and not come out for hours !!

I agree with everyone that it's sad to see old engines being cut up. However, as one who works with equipment, I can tell you from experience that sometimes the old stuff just isn't worth the struggle to keep it going.

Harry, Great photo! This is sad to see, but remember that Larry's sells parts from these locos to keep other old models running on railroads and in industry all over the country, and they lease locos they receive and repair as well. If railfans could run railroads, we'd be able to put together running units made out of components from 3 or 4 of the models seen here, thanks to Larry's. Now, if I win the next lotto....
