A couple of weeks ago I was driving by the small Farm Pond CSX yard in Framingham, MA, when I noticed a couple of New Haven FL9 (?) cab units parked. Haven't had a chance to go back and see if they're still there, but I'm wondering whether they were being shipped somewhere. I hope not to salvage!

I believe I've seen in "Trains" magazine and also on this website they've been sold off to various buyers. Most likely they've been staged for delivery.
As far as I know none have been sold to scrappers.
Third hand source (orignally attributed to the Cape Cod Model RR Club and Museum) says:
Boston Surface RR Co. bought 2027 ($51,100) & 2011 ($85,200)2026 ($56,100) went to the CapeTexas Grapevine Hist. Ry. bought 2014 ($72,100) & 2016 ($75,101)Webb Rail got 2024 for $93,100
And I'll plug a Trains.com newswire:

It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
