That is BULLSHIT...why the HELL would they cancel something on an engine so pretty :( Seriously...they couldnt of just held off on buying new engines for their yards for like 10 more years? lol I know its all a buisness and things must be cut...still...why the 1218? Why... :(

@hoolg NS never owned 1218. The parts sit in a boxcar awaiting the day they can be reinstalled. 611 is least likely to return due to her rigid frame. She is not flexible like 765 and 261. She cant take most curves on the railroad today.

I had the privilege of riding a train pulled by the 1218 on a round trip from Birmingham to Chattanooga...seems like it was 1990 or '91? About dusky-dark, that steam whistle sang all the way back to B'ham...music to my ears!

abandoned boxcars to the left

Sounds as though those passenger cars had several bearings in need of maintenance.

A great engine highballs through a great area!

We were set up just south east of the bridge that flys over Highway 231/ 53/ 25 next to county road 85.
Hope this helps.
