QUESTIONS: Can the museum put up a better fence across the rails coming in? I am being too harsh?
RESPONSES:
Roanoke, like a lot of museums, gets by on volunteer labor, so some
things take time.
This poor thing is EMD's 10,000th diesel and was the
only E8A preserved at all until recently.
It looks like a slow restoration is in progress.
From Roger Rassche:
From M.S.:
(why I'm using initials instead of a name here)
Rusty Diesel is an E-8 or E-9, probably off the Wabash. Why it has been stripped of its paint and then not even primer coated is beyond me.
