Rare unit, now an organ donor  Contributor's Pick!       
My wife had an appointment in Springdale recently, so while she was taking care of that, I drove over to the A&M to see what was up. This T 6 was outside the shop. There were only 55 of these built, 40 of them going to N&W. Arkansas & Missouri has four. Sad to see this one is no longer in service, but it will help keep the others running-see comment below.

Ian Hilderbrand General Actually, according to Alex Holtby (who I work with over there), it's been pulled out of the 'bone yard' for spare parts and hasn't worked for a while. Most likely to keep 14 running. 10/18/2021 5:10:20 PM
