Comments on: While wandering out back at MacMillan Yard some years ago when I actually could, I happened across this old MLW CN 2030 in a state of despondency after suffering some sort of oil bath. Probably a unit ahead let loose out on the road. I am hoping someone out there in the know could give a run down on just what they think lead to this. Thanks!!

Ahh…. I’ll chime in on this one. Maybe Snake would agree. This is Mooney camouflage. They knew you were coming and quickly tried to hide the engine by covering it in black oil

It looks like it has been made ready for the contest where you try to catch the greased pig and win a prize.
