Scrapping TRRA locomotive 300

I have been wanting to post these pictures for a while and finally have time. They are all links but worth the look if anyone wants to turn my links into pictures they are more then welcome to. I am talking to you Mechanic!!! This is from beginning to end from when it got put in the yard to the last piece being pulled off the tracks. Here she is entering the yard and moving toward the locomotive burning field.
