Re: SW1 567U to 567V transition

This is a hard thing to document exactly, as per the EMD and Cleveland records I have, they did not differentiate between 567V and 567U, as everything pre "A block", is simply recorded as a straight "567", this holds true for manuals as well. I think they only started stamping th...

Re: LIRR Caboose Roster Udate Dispostion 21st Century

I believe C-70 was torched sometime before 2002. It was stored at 65th street yard (not at bush, which is a little to the north). I've got a photo or two of it from around 2002 while it was still back there. I don't think it had NY&A markings. Some day I'll get around to scanning those negative...

Its in Greenville.

Lapeer Industrial did not come to be until 1999, long after the Bogies (and Ore cars), both of which used LIRR. Fun fact, Lapeer Industrial is owned by a former LI'er.

A much more in depth read on the Bogies.

70 was stored in Bush Terminal for about a 5 years before it was sent to Gershow to be scrapped around 2004.

I don't see why none of these were grabbed for preservation, as they were serviceable. Eh, thus is life.
