UP had an auction of locomotives, parts and misc. stuff at North Little Rock October 8. Had around 100 locomotives (slugs, SW1500s, GP38AC, GP40s, SD40-2s, Tunnel Motors, B23-7s, B30-7s, B30-7As and even a couple of C30-7s) go over the auction block. Any of our resident locomotive people (e.g. Shortline Sammy) attend and if so can he/they tell us how it went?
I think this sale represents about half of the total number of retired locomotives UP has sitting around in various places. That's retired, not stored serviceable.
