Good luck to all bidders.

I think it’s telling that there are quite a few genset switch engines for auction.

Hmmm....... If I put one of those couplers on my truck, and another on the trailer............

I'd love one of those GP20's, make a great letterbox for receiving models.

Heck,RAY, put some rubber wheels on it and drive it to work- or the Postal place!

Problem is, they don't steer too well...but then, that's no worse than a supermarket shopping kart, eh!

What about Amtrak getting rid of the full dome car? Weeding out its one of a kind pieces, seems to me. Probably expensive to run and maintain at this point.
