WOW thats really sad.Whats saddier is I cant think of anyone who might want any of it.Maybe RS3u 506 and the coachies but other then that. JUST SAD.

It sounds like they want to sell it as a complete opperating railroad.

And maybe keep it at its current location...

There are two new adds on Railswap.

Yes, they are exErie Mining units.

One RS11 and a C420...

Hudson Bay is selling 6 operating M420's. Check out this site:

If any Alco roads want to upgrade to some "modern" Alco road power, now would be a good time! 6 operable and blue carded M420s for sale... that's not something that comes along every day.

I'll bet they head to Arkansas. I don't know for sure, but I'd bet money that you won't likely see a sale like this again.

OK, I will bet your next paycheck on that! (kidding) I am not a betting man. I am not sure about that as the Hudson Bay has 20 M420's plus 1 M420 "B" unit. This includes the 6 that are for sale.

Does anyone have an up-to-date HBRY locomotive roster? The newest one I could find on the web was from 2004. Based on that roster, it looks like the M420s compose the majority of the fleet, in addition to being the youngest units on the roster. The rest of the roster appeared to be comprised mostly of old geeps (GP35 and earlier). In terms of reliability, fuel economy, and repair costs, I would think that an M420 would beat a GP35 easily.

The 2007 Canadian Trackside Guide is loaded with this information and plenty of details. Very accurate too.

There is now a Alco S-1 and S-2 for sale by the same gentleman who sold the 2 S-6 units. I am waiting for photos. Both run. FB trucks.

The Tioga Central has been sold. D.F, Barnhardt's site shows that immediately. http://www.trains-trams-trolleys.com/
