What's the latest news on these two Rock Island E units(630,652)? Last I heard was the president of the Iowa Northern bought them,but haven't heard anything since. Doug |

In Sept I saw them at the Midland Railway in Baldwin City Kansas. From what I recall issues on moving them with BNSF because they want alignment control couplers, and the Midland Railway has a bridge issue on their line that needs fixing. The units are on "this" side of the bridge but need to be on "that" side to get to the BNSF interchange. They looked very good though when I saw them. |
