Come on UNIT 4!! Been rumored, but CMS is pretty broke right now as far as adding a huge boiler like U4 on the west side

CRHS is interested in the CR box on site. I wouldn't mind having the B60b and a boxcar for SMRS

The CRHS wants everything they can get but they aren't going to be funding the trip back to PA.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the help!

I may take a ride down to Kazoo and see what Pfizer is getting now a days.

Thanks for the info so far.

Thanks guys!

Im looking for an old CR H43 class 3 bay open hopper somewhere in Michigan to measure up for a modeling purposes. Im in GR and willing to drive around 3 hours one way if I can find one.


Thanks for your time
