Death to a Boat

            Sitting on a siding of the AC&J outside of Plymouth OH, former Detroit Edison #010 is living out its very last days. 010 and 008 were the last two Detroit Edison U30C's to be active and when sold in 2010 they were still in working order. Detroit Edison had done a dumper upgrade to allow foreign road locomotives to roll through the dumper instead of having to cut of their power and use the the 2 C's to pull them through. Sadly both units were scrapped, 010 here on the AC&J by Horizon Rail and the 008 was cut up at LTEX's McDonald Ohio location.  In this photo 010 is still pretty intact but by the days end the engine will be mising a lot of it's metal and by the end of the week it would be gone. I made a trip up a couple days later to watch a crane lift the cab and other parts off and place them onto tractor trailers. The last remaining Edison road unit is the VLIX 9009 former DE 009 and will be used as a part source in Oak ridge TN and eventually scrapped.
