[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by talbanese</i> <br /><br />At least a loco is hauling then away, and not a truck!!!!! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The rolling stock at the scrapyard I mentioned seem to be hauled there by truck. When I first visited it, there was a semi with a hopper car on its side on a flatbed trailer at the scrapyard. When driving in the city that same day, I coincidentally passed a semi hauling a truckless tank car. No doubt it was heading there. The scrapyard is, however, served by rail and uses an Alco S-2 and an ex-BN SW-???? for switching. <br /> <br />Also, a while ago I found a picture on the internet showing some rolling stock all laying on its side at a scrapyard. They weren't all clustered together, but were somewhat spread out. The photo was an aerial view, which made them look like model train cars lying on the floor and was actually pretty neat looking. I tried looking for it to post in this topic, but I can't find it now. If I do, I'll put it here. I saved it when first found it, so if somebody wants to see it I can e-mail it to them.
