Does anyone have any idea of what is exactly being sold, ie what will the
successfull bidder end up with for their $50 million donation to the Govt.
Is there any publickly available list of ANs assetts.?
I know it doesnt own many new locos ,the ANs & ELs are all leveridge leased
from Japanese banks.
It does own the DLs and all the old GMs,700s etc,but they would not be worth
anything like $50 million.
What about rolling stock, how much of ANs rolling stock does NR now own?
cheers
