One of out locomotives, WW572 wore out it's injectors and was running pretty bad. I was in the shop yesterday and saw the CMO draining the oil out of it. When I questioned him about it, he said that it had lots of diesel in it and had to be replaced. I really feel bad for them...:rotflmao

Cool thing was, that he asked me if I wanted it.. Isn't that hilarious?!?!?!?!

Considering most railroads rarely change the oil, that's quite a score. ;Sweet

wow, that IS quite a score! Like somebody said earlier......"premixed WMO"!. Sounds like you are accumulating it faster than you are using it. That's cool, not like it'll "go bad" or anything. ;Sweet LOL

I need to get another another 55 gallon drum for storage, I just hate taking up more floor space in the garage!!!;Really:D:cool

They're little 4-axle locomotives... They only take 250 gallons.. I serviced three of them Saturday morning. They were each low on lube oil. I used a barrel of oil in each one, to top them off.
