Ballast Bomber (C32-8) Escapee

Talk about a suprise. I was following a link for something unrelated, and when I got to the page, I also noticed this. Looks like a Ballast Bomber did survive the battle...in Brasil...

Brasil Ferrovias 9339 (ex. CR 6616)

Yep, tried shooting that unit last year, but no luck. I hear there are about half a dozen in Pittston Pennsylvania.

We know there is the one survivor, now in Mexico.
this was probably the "Georgia unit"..that was believed for awhile to be the sole survivor.

There were at least another 6 stored at RMDI in Pittston, PA.
There was photo conformation of at least two still surviving there in early 2006.
current fate is unknown.

It is indeed the Georgia unit. The one that was locked inside the quarry.
