There's no shortage of available units. Heck, maybe they can make a deal to store units in exchange for use of a few of them.

3 or 4??
there are 24 EMD's on the current roster..

Perhaps the additional wording in the quote will clarify the point. What is on the current roster has little to do with needing to replace a like number of units as they are reported to be selling off.

As of a few days ago, there were 5 in Bingo. 3664,3666,3668,3670, and 3672 is our local switcher, which is limited to 10 MPH for some strange reason. (I'll ask around as to why, unless seomeone knows)

I'll try and get out for photos and an update this afternoon.

Edit: Engluish fixed.

It seems that 3672 has left the NYS&W yard in Binghamton.

So that means the last Alco left NYS&W during the week of 10/29/2007.
