Ron Moraca General Remarkable photo, Mike!!! If that NW2 still operates, it's 60 years old now, and a classic switcher, if there ever was one!!! 5/1/2009 9:40:13 PM
Mike Rapchak Jr. General Many thanks, Ron. Yes, 8811 is still in service, one of only two IHB NW2s remaining on their roster; the other is #8814. 5/1/2009 9:57:38 PM
