An unkind cut : Scrapping two Great Western Railway locomotives. GP7 #2233 was completely rebuilt in 2006 and lasted only a couple months before rolling on its side just north of the US 34 crossing in Kelim, CO, January 2007. This locomotive was originally owned and rebuilt by the Santa Fe (hence the "Frankenstein" modified cab roof.) Later it went to the Central Kansas and eventually to OmniTrax/Great Western. Many sister locomotives remain in service on the GW. The railroad saved the generator to revive SD9 #914, along with the traction motors, bell, horns and a few other goodies.

Alco S4 #1845, a/k/a "Leaky Lena", had a recently rebuilt engine but was sidelined by oil and water leaks, reputedly caused by skimping on new seals. Originally destined for the North Alabama Railroad Museum, she was cut up along with an SW8 and the GP7 in November, 2007. She was bought by the SP and later went to the GW.

I removed some parts from these two locomotives, with the permission of the scrapping company, for donation to the Greeley Freight Station Museum.
