Near my hometown, at Corson, SD, is an "Eastern South Dakota Farmer's Co-Op Elevator. For the last dozen or so years, there has been an old Baldwin switcher sitting behind it, on a siding. ( I *think* it was an S-2?) ' Never saw it move. In fact, it had a pretty good sized tree growing up through part of it. Today when I was by there, it was up on blocks. The engine hood, engine, and trucks had been removed. After all these years, would there be any (railroad) salvage for Baldwin engines and trucks? Maybe they're being sent up near Nanaimo, BC, to refurbish some long-lost Baldwins?[:D] Are there any active Baldwins left?
