C39-8 8551, the last N&W diesel, is headed to scrap.  While the option
still remains to buy it before it actually goes to scrap, the $65,000 asking
cost is simply too high to generate in a week.  It's a shame that the
current politicos involving the VMT and Roanoke in general is allowing this to
happen, as I'm sure a phone call to Wick Moorman outlining the historical
aspects of this locomotive could quickly change things.  I know now how the
people who tried to save the last Y6bs felt...
