We've got someone here locally in Syracuse that has one of those all dolled up in Lehigh Valley colors, complete with the 'drumhead' on the platform...old girl looks real good too! The crews handle it like it was made out of fine crystal

Asking price $120,000. That doesn't include the fee to get tagged on the back of a Amtrak train. Plus the fee Amtrak charges per mile.
