CN 55696

Rumour had it that this old girl was retired and scrapped sometime in the 80's. That being said, local management was pretty surprised to receive a phone call from the contractor hired to dismantle an unused spur nearby. Word came down the line that this old girl was found with a few boxcars on a siding near the end of the spur. The boxcars are doomed but 55696 will possibly survive. A special move was orchestrated to pull her out of the weeds for a trip to the carshop. Following a more thorough inspection a decision will be made on what to do with her.
