I'm simply state that is great to see at least one of the units out of its hiding spot if only briefly.  The fact that two still exist is a funny conundrum in my mind.  You have a current owner who wants to keep them out of site, but as such they have lasted into 2021.

Perhaps one day these will pass to someone who has an interest in seeing them operating again.

As an aside did these have the D71 traction motors Jack?  That was the one bright spot for Baldwin locomotive engineering as I understand.

Sorry Jonathan, I have absolutely no knowledge concerning any Baldwin diesel units, although I did experience a cab ride on the Jersey Central "baby face Baldwin" freight units, back in the mid to late 1950s.
