A couple of places that come to mind are in the Chicago and Birmingham metro areas. <br />Though I haven't been by there in years since I moved south, the Pielet Bros. scrap yard (where many EMD trade ins were scrapped) had a line of old tenders, cranes, and steam locos along Joliet road and easily viewed from public property. <br />I don't know about now, with the EMD plant closed, can anyone update? <br />In Birmingham, al., the Heart of Dixie Museum had it's equipment (in various condition) stored in a couple of old sidings parallel to the CSX and NS mains that bisect the city, near downtown. <br />Also I have caught a glimpse of an Alco S series parked in a yard (abandoned?) of an abandonded steel mill. in the Ainslie area . It was so rusted that I couldn't tell it's markings. <br /> Jimmy
