My employer, Talen Energy, is auctioning off one locomotive and some old flat cars as part of general clean up around the plant. The loco documentation is a mix of sw-9 and sw-1200. The engine turns over freely but will not start as the generator needs work. Loco is equipped for Cat-tron remote operation. Engine repair tag from 1999 indicates it is equipped with a 12-645 engine. The open house to view this equipment is from 9 to 11 am at Brunner Island steam electric power station, Mount Wolf PA., on 10/28/2017. Zip code is 17347. The auction for this equipment will be held on November 11th at Talen's Harwood facility.
Note, on 10/28 there will also be an auction onsite from 11 am til completion for all equipment related to an abandoned fish farm facility on the property. Access to the power plant itself will not granted. Fishfarm area auction already completed.
The flatcars are lighter duty equipment with wooden decks that would need to be replaced if used. There is also a stubby flat car equipped with arch bar trucks and handrails that was used to give rides in the plant at one point in time. None of this equipment is suitable for interchange. The "bread boxes" on three of the flat cars were used for sand blasting turbine rotors during inspections. These are also for sale.
Please see attached photos. If anyone is seriously interested in acquiring this equipment please contact me via email and I will get you more info on the auction. Link to auction site can be found here.
Thank you
(Note - was not sure if this or the for sale forum was the right place for this unique posting)
