Seems like the West Springfield MA power plant is going to be taken fully out of service and redeveloped.

I feel like I heard rumors of the switcher that was still there, years ago. I haven’t seen any equipment outside in years. Driving through last week and again today, there’s a switcher and red flatcar outside, near the road. In theory, it looks like the equipment could be moved across the road on rail, with the exception being an improvised bumper/end-of-track made out of two crossed ties. Any ideas if the equipment is going anywhere? It all seems to be visually in decent shape.
