MSU Switcher Wherabouts

Unread post by MQT1223 »

So, the MSU switcher was reported being in Wyoming Yard yesterday along with a low boy. Anyone know where it went? It wasn't there before Tippy Cow last night.

Wonder what the final selling price was. And who the new owner is?

BTW the MSU 44 tonner is reportedly alive and well in Texas earning it's keep. Not sure where but this information came from an employee of the broker who handled the deal.

Just found out (from Silcott) that the MSU 45 Tonner is at UTLX in Cleveland, Texas.

Mystery solved!
