While driving south on Airport Way in Stockton this afternoon, I glanced over to the Stockton Yard "Diesel Shop" area where 24-36 SD9043MAC's have been stored unserviceable for the past 2 years or so, and noticed they were all gone. It has been reported that a handful of stored SD9043MAC's have been slowly placed back into service to meet the hefty traffic demands that UP is facing. Does anyone know where they were moved to (I'm guessing Roseville) and whether they will be pressed back into service?
This is probably the "last hurrah" for the Big Mac's, as their very existence seems to correlate with healthy economy at this point in their service lives.
