PADNOS  SALVAGE  YARD  
On a Saturday in August, 1991, Randy and
I  made a visit to the north end of the
Padnos salvage yard in Lansing where their
spur connected with Conrail. The crew was
there with RE 720, an old Alco S1. They
offered us a ride while they pushed some
empty gons into their salvage yard to be
loaded. Of course we could not refuse.
These photos record our short trip.

they will be picked up by CSX.
