Excellent! PC/CR RS32 workhorses used to work the salt train that ran over B&O trackage rights between Rochester and Caledonia interchange with the Genesee & Wyoming back when it was curious short line serving a salt mine. And I believe PC 2031, now 62 years young, still operates today for the Arkansas & Missouri RR as its #30.
