I was in Madison, WI for business last night and this morning and while driving home to Aurora, IL I stopped for lunch in Janesville. I was not only hungry but also wanted to take the time to stop by the W&S yard near downtown. I had not been there in about three years and WOW how it had changed. It was much cleaner, better organized and the power present was sure much better. Gone were the mish mash of old second hand first generation power in any number of different paint schemes and what I say was a really clean pair of units, one SD40-2 and one rather rare SD20. Then, along came a westbound manifest freight powered by three SD40-2's with the lead unit being the 25th anniversary unit, and all spotlessly clean. I drove to the rear of the roundhose to find that they had installed very large plate glass windows all along the back side of the house so you can look inside and see the power inside being serviced. No more BL2 or F3 units there any more (they are all in Green Bay at the museum) but what I did see was very impressive. <br />[/quote]Sounds like you had fun, I'm envious
