Funny, I just saw that this morning and was going to post it. Note that all the lettering has been removed.

I guess they need the space or something. We had a discussion a while back about this. Must have changed their minds: http://www.thepwvhiline.com/BB/viewtopic.php?t=763&sid=812f646148dcdced98ddc9321306c6fc.

...Hey! is any of our AC&Y friends aware of this?
or
Tim S. @ A of S Roundhouse?
Maybe a cost factor to move it? any big scrap value? ,that could be sad.

With only three(3) units left, would be rare find for their Diesel collection.
Having the original AC&Y FM- H-20-44 at Sugar-Creek,
to boot.... nice regional historical asset save, even for display!

If you ignore historic significance, depending on what it is, scrap steel prices are running about $320 to $420 per ton (I think). So... it's worth maybe $38,000 in scrap less the labor to cut it up. It would be a shame. If prepped properly, you may be able to haul it dead in tow since it has roller bearings.
