Sometimes nostolgia has to give into reality...the 187 was heavily damaged by copper thieves in the recent past. The unit was re-engined in Tacoma in 1998 by CEECO with a 8-567BC prime mover which will be salvaged and re-installed in the OPR SW-8 #801 which has an obsolete 567B prime mover which is leaking water and oil.

The trucks will be salvaged by the buyer and the rest will be recycled. OPR has removed various components such as fuel pump and control stand for future use. This unit has been offered for sale for value of components several times with no takers.

Unfortunately at this point we have no alternative but to utilize our assets to their maximum value.
