NS discontinued its steam excursion program, selling the six passenger cars at auction Thursday 8/17. 611, still at the station down the street, doesn't have a car to pull anymore. http://www.wdbj7.com/content/news/NS-set-to-auction-locomotives-and-passenger-cars--440839943.html great shots for future modeler's use: http://www.blackmonauctions.com/equ...rn-railroad-locomotive-auction/passenger-cars tons of GP-38's going to? http://www.blackmonauctions.com/equipment/norfolk-southern-railroad-locomotive-auction/locomotives
A new update of WBDJ's website reports that "the excursion coaches went to the three buyers, including a scenic railroad in New York State, a tour company in Alaska and the North Carolina Transportation Museum. The winning bids were higher than expected, averaging around $200,000 for a single rail car". Those 38s will make great shortline power for a number of buyers.
