Still boomin... in 2016
4 years before NRE decided it was time to purge themselves of locations, the Silvis shops were just bustling with contract work, Here Soo 6033 and a single motor demo genset, maybe someone knows which, were the only two units on this end of the shop with a Watco SD40 in the paint booth to the right. Behind us was all kinds of CP, Watco, and other railroads work that filled up every bit of track space. I am not sure what it looks like today as the shop works towards closure but I'm sure its no where even close to as busy as it was on this day.
