A collection of slides from Bill Wulfert of equipment on the deaccession list, and also some buildings and other features of the landscape that are no longer there. This is a work in progress, and we will be adding and rearranging.

Gregg Wolfersheim comments: Those were some cool pics of Bill Wulfert's. Brings back memories. Wish we wouldn't have let the PRR doodlebug go, but that was the politics of the time. About 10 years ago, when I was in Ft. Wayne, I briefly visited the museum there, where the NKP 765 is. Sitting on some rail was a flatcar with trucks lettered for AT&SF 2302! They had removed the body, (or maybe it removed itself?) to make a work car out of it. IRM got 2 kegs of spikes for the trade, as I recall. Also, the Philly center entrance car, I tried to sell to the Rockford Park district. This is when they were getting ready to run a trolley along the riverfront. They didn't want to spend the money putting up overhead wire. Not long after the car went away... And the rest is history. Gregg
ReplyDeleteIs that Marriott's Great America's narrow gauge stuff?
ReplyDeleteHas the E9B unit officially been sold? If I recall, it was still under IRM ownership a couple years back but was leased to the Wisconsin & Southern; it was supposed to make a return for Diesel Days, but never showed up. Maybe that was in 2014?

I thought that the E9B was still apart of the museums roster? Or is the missing part the fact that Michigan Northern is no longer part of the picture and is thus deemed gone. Any information would be greatly appreciated as said by cliff above it was supposed to return to the museum in 14 but never made it.

Sorry for any panic I may have caused. The E9B is not on the actual deaccession list, and I happened to include Bill's picture of it by mistake. I'm going through a large collection of slides, many of things that are still around, so errors are possible. You may now relax.
ReplyDeleteChris: AFAIK, Marriott's Great America never had steam on its narrow gauge railroad; their "locomotive" was a control cab, with a diesel engine in the tender.
ReplyDeleteMike G.
Actually Great America did get some real steam locomotives, but canned the idea to use them. Supposedly they were donated to IRM and then sold.
