@tanelifoto Thanks! As neat as they look, we're sorry to see so many locos sidelined, which illustrates the failure of PSR to "Pivot to Growth" as had been hyped by the railroads as the next phase of PSR (Precision Scheduled Railroading). PSR is really only about eliminating jobs and sucking every penny of value out of the enterprise without considering the long term consequences of such transparently greedy policies. Back in the 60's and 70's, the buzzwords of US rail management were "Deferred Maintenance", meaning that nothing was fixed unless it broke, and routine maintenance choked off beyond that which was necessary to ensure smooth, predictable operations on a daily basis. Today's PSR is the red-headed stepchild of those irresponsible strategies of the past.
