According to Trains mag. Cargill 1017 was moved from Dana In. to somewhere in Michigan? Anybody seen it? This was the last Alco produced by them in NY.

It looks like it went to GLLX. I wonder (and this is pure speculation) if it went to the West Michigan in Hartford? Seems to be the GLLX parking lot of choice. Not surprising given the current ownership of the line

Cargil #1017 is a former Newberg&Southshore from Cargil (I&O) Indiana.

It was spotted the other day in GDLK's Hughart Yard. That wouldn't line up with it going to Hartford, since it came to GR via CSX, WMI's sole interchange.

It was delivered to the WMI in Hartford last Thursday by CSX.

Huh. Sure looked like it in the photo I was shown of Hughart. Guess not! (Hence dismiss my previous post)

I saw it in Ensel yard on 708, couldn't get a picture of it though as I was working. Plus they left their cars on Main 2 while grabbing our cars.

That's the former Leelenau Scenic Engine right? If this is going to where I think it is, where with the GT GP9 end up?

So cool seeing all this vintage power moving around. I gotta check out the West Michigan Railroad. Not many T6's were made.

GLLX4 and GLLX4433 are both currently at the CHS yard in Wayland.

How many locomotives are currently stored in Hartford?

Super Chief · Unread post by **Super Chief** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 6:06 am

Last count 3 the T6, the CF7 and the SW 1512. Plus 2 cabooses.

SD80MAC · Unread post by **SD80MAC** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 7:13 am

They also have an ex UP MP15 in addition to the SW1200, CF7 and T6. Please also be advised the engines are stored on private property and Hanson's security is not exactly friendly towards rail fans.

Did this locomotive ever get to Wayland?
