Title: Apache Railway to shut down
Post by: Tom Pinnick on August 06, 2012, 06:07:45 pm

According to TRAINS magazine newswire, the Apache Railway will shut down September 30th. I believe there is at least one MONON C-420 in their roster.

Here's the NewsWire from TRAINS:
"Apache Railway to shut down
 Published: July 31, 2012

SNOWFLAKE, Ariz. – Catalyst Paper, based in Richmond, B.C., has announced the planned closure of the paper recycling mill at Snowflake and the subsidiary Apache Railway Co. The plant is scheduled to end production on September 30. After closing the mill site will be prepared for sale and repurposing.

The Apache Railway is widely known for its fleet of Alco locomotives. The railroad is a common carrier incorporated in 1917. It operates 38 miles of track to an interchange with BNSF Railway at Holbrook."
 Apache had one exMonon C-420, either #83 or #84.

Stew, I thought the one that Apache had was numbered #82 - I could be wrong though.
