    Key, What if I am getting paid way more then 150 bucks an hour? Would you do it then? Maybe 151.00 an hour you would do it? Just a few questions I have for you. lol.

    Langille, They are all emd models but there is a catch. The whole thing has to go as scrap except for a few parts they want to save. They don't want to flood the market with parts.

    It took me basically two days to bust down two of them into pieces small enough to lift off the tracks with a cat 325 which could barely handle the pieces. I am not doing another one till late next week and the 345 cat shows up so we can just man handle the pieces and cut down the time it takes to do one of them. I will take pictures when I can its kinda hard to do that when you are covered in grease and oil and don't wanna touch your phone to take pics.
