The guys told me they'd probably start on it early next week. The plow behind it is safe, however - it was purchased by UP and will be moved to Cheyenne. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_000.jpg.html 42713 What little remains of MDTX 1511 on Friday, 8-Dec-2006 http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_001.jpg.html 42717 The distinctive stainless side grills, lying separated from the rest of the carbody steel. The scrappers had neatly sorted most of the different materials into piles. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_002.jpg.html 42720 The unit's fuel tank, loaded up and ready to be hauled to the scrap yard http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_003.jpg.html 42723 The sides of the unit, torched off just above the frame and cast into a pile http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_004.jpg.html 42726 The opposite side of the unit, showing a pile of rubber hoses, as well as a barrel filled with electrical bits. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_005.jpg.html 42729 Trying to lift the unit's 16-567BC engine up onto the trailer. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_006.jpg.html 42732 Another overview of the carnage. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_007.jpg.html 42735 Carbody bits strewn around, with the frame and engine in the background http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_008.jpg.html 42738 There's the roof on the right, along with the sides on the left (and my car in the background) http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_009.jpg.html 42741 Two corner pieces off of one of the unit's ends http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_010.jpg.html 42744 A pile of junk at one end of the unit - in the foreground are what look like engine hatch covers, and just behind them is a pile of fans, as well as one of the unit's doors on the right http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_011.jpg.html 42747 Another look at the unit's frame, along with the pile of doors and side panels in the foreground http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_012.jpg.html 42750 A look at an end of the unit, showing how the unit's internal trussing was torched off near the frame. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_013.jpg.html 42762 I spent quite a bit of time talking to the two guys working on the job. They really did regret their assigned task of cutting up such an old unit. While it didn't come in with any builders plates still attached, one of the guys reached in their job box http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/mdtx_1511_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_014.jpg.html 42753 A look at one of the ends of the 16-567BC prime mover, with the cover over the crankshaft-to-cam gears removed. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/DRGWDieselContainer/F7s/DRGW5552/DRGW5552-Scrapping/wyco_office_laramie_wy_8_dec_2006_000.jpg.html 42759 The final thing to go under the torch will be the WYCO's office boxcar, located at the north end of the area where the work is being done
