I don't think it's necessarily RIP, but rather, see you down the road. I'm told it's headed for brain surgery at Woodcrest. Perhaps it will be euthanized when they open it up, but seems unlikely.

Is 514 blocking the main? Cuz 515 took me and Justin Colby at 22 by surprise and 355 is nowhere to be found

514 went into the yard at Johnson Avenue.

They are putting an engine on the tail end of Amtrak 355. 515 was waiting for Amtrak at South Blvd but they have since pulled into the yard.
