    its still sitting there by buses. not sure if its trucks are under it yet. i think it would be getting prepped in shop if it was on wheels. looks smaller than alcos.

    Okay guys, I know this will sound crazy and actually it is in more ways than one.

    I had to make a trip to Chattanooga this afternoon. On my way back, I was just south of Dalton GA passing the 326 exit (Carbondale Road) at approximately 3:50PM when over in the northbound lanes I saw one of the new Durango & Silverton locomotives identical to the one in the picture Kurt posted above, fresh paint and all. Didn't get the number or a pic. Next exit was 6 miles south so with all the traffic and probably a 12 mile lead by the time I could have turned around, I figured no chance of catching him so just came on south.

    So, why in the world would an engine for the Durango $ Silverton be on a flat bed truck on I-75 in north Georgia?

    A company called Motive Power and Equipment Solutions is doing some work on them. They have a shop outside of Greenville, so maybe it was on the move to the railroad. They were being remotored or something. The Durango and Silverton website had a short post about it.

    How many of the new engines are there? I have seen photos of one on cribbing. It does look nice. Seems odd to spend the money and then have it sitting for months like that.
