    I caught SRS#136 at the NS depot here in Marion last summer. I hear they are being replaced by HiRails. It's nice to see them still hanging on.

    Here is 126 in Missouri City, Texas on the ex SP Sunset Route. Must have been around 1999.

    Peirce!

    What was it doing there? Just being stored behind a fence?

    Sperry has a facility in Danbury. They may be just parking this unit, since they can't do much work under the current weather conditions. It is possible they just needed a place to keep it for a short time. Beyond that, I don't have any info on why it is in our yard.

    Woodland Jct., Illinois on the old C&EI in June of 2003. This car was headed down the UP side after the split.
