Tracking West
Strolling Through Town
A spring day in Marysville finds the MPDRVB rolling through town with a threatened NS dash 9 on point. The DC to AC program has been converting these units into AC44C6Ms and by this point the old “Thoroughbred” dash 9s were rare as most were either repainted, like 9860, or rebuilt. Skip about a year and a half later and today almost all of the last remaining thoroughbreds sit out of service awaiting rebuild. Very soon these old horses will be a thing of the past, though not entirely at the same time.
