RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2020 Silvis has seen sadness before. After all, the final bankruptcy of the Rock in 1980 was the largest in US financial history to that point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenrithBeacon Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 There's a huge amount of money tied up there. Are they mostly owned by the railway or are they leased? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they mostly owned by the railway or are they leased? The BNSF and Union Pacific locomotives are certainly owned by their respective railroads. The grey and blue locomotives seen at the beginning of the video appear to be from a leasing company but I'm not sure which. Larry's Truck and Electric maybe?

Johann Marsbar Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) There have been quite sizeable dumps of stored locos in the US for some years now. The lot in the background were in Fridley Yard (?) in Minneapolis back in 2011... There were a lot more present than feature in my photo.

APOLLO Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 HMMM - Thinking my model Railroad has lots of locos from various roads. I might put up a "NRE" sign over my diesel depot !! They have an interesting website - no prices though !!!!! https://www.nre.com/ Brit15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris M Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 The really sad side is that they represent a lot of engineers who must have lost their jobs. Nice to see a few warbonnets remain though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Closer to home, there were a lot of locos and units stored in the SNCF marshalling yard at Sotteville, Rouen. Some are very evidently awaiting cannibalising, others look as though they're just stabled:- https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/76300+Sotteville-lès-Rouen,+France/@49.3998708,1.1091012,174m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x47e0de5a71f8823b:0x40c14484fb66a90!8m2!3d49.4147405!4d1.0915405?hl=en I counted 8 (750m) roads full of locos; when I was there last, there were even more.

Talltim Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 A friend pointed me to a dump of stored BNSF locos on Galveston Island https://goo.gl/maps/PqU4JBN6H6MQGiiw8 Apparently there are now more than there were when the Streetview car visited 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how the car has clearly visited a time apart, with stored locos missing as you move down peripheral roads. Good view of turbine/wing train Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
