Mr. Tupaczewski-

My name is Bob Schoneman, I live in Appleton, WI. I used to live in
Ridgewood, NJ so the EL is of interest to me.

I wonder if you can assist. The following came out Sunday, AM and I am
fwding this on to anyone who might have interest in this.


A more detailed list can be found on the CN's web site at

WC SDP45 6634

The funeral train went south yesterday out of Fond du Lac, WI to CN-IC
Markham yard in IL. The unit is in great shape body wise, it has been
stored for about a year almost. Crankshaft failure, if I remember
correctly.

With the glut of second hand units on the US railway system, these
should go cheap. It is still a 20 cyl unit, last one of it's kind.

If you could pass this one on, maybe somebody might have an ear. I hate
to see this scrapped.

Thanks for your attention.

Bob Schoneman
