2785 looking a little worse for wear.
Title:  2785 looking a little worse for wear.
Description:  WIMX U23B 2785 is sans engine cowl and battery box doors, exposing how badly it is rusting. I think it is safe to say this unit is not long for this earth.

2785 rear third
Title:  2785 rear third
Description:  With all the grates and vents missing, you can see the large radiator fan of the unit. I wonder where these parts ended up? Did they have some extra value as scrap, or maybe they are keeping another U23B alive? Who knows.

WIMX 2785 "long hood"
Title:  WIMX 2785 "long hood"
Description:  Probably the last view of 2785 I will ever get. Looking bare as ever. Notice that the handrails on the conductors side have been cut off at the base. Harbinger of things to come?
