CHAD.....Right now there are dumpsters on the Solon Turman and the metal in smaller pieces is being thrown in....a couple of the cranes have been cut off and set aside...From what I gather almost all the scrap will be going out by rail and thats where the SD9 # 25 comes in....BUT....how they load the scrap into rail cars is another question as the trackage goes down the street....there are some tight curves off this trackage that lead next to both ships and it would interesting to see if todays Gon's can go around these curves without walking off the rails.....This next week or so will tell the tale....
