Lease or purchase?

[amoreho1]

did nysw buy all the lease locomotive they had?
or just bdlx 1355(3042) and rmdi 2214(2300)!

i think that was it. I just saw 2300 today down in RP for the first time. Looks cool with the new numbes. To bad they didn't put the "S" on the nose and rear.

It's belived that U23B's 2208 and 2209 were bought as well 2208 parts 2209 now 2302.

#2209 is still a leased unit.

I dont know if anyone figured that out yet...its been used up on the ND a little on locals.

[Steve F45]

someone on the yahoo groups said nysw was leasing it to try and gain some interest in ordering some. To me they dont need local power, they need road power.

Well if you string enough of them togther, there is your road power! Nothing would suprise me at this point.
