Cool history shot...restoration ongoing:https://spoonertrainride.com/mark-twain-zephyr/
Thought they were sold to be restored.
very cool
Fantastic shot of history.
Have a look at http://www.burlingtonroute.com/docs/rosters/remain_diesel.html it may help. Regards Peider, Switzerland
nice classic shot
If I recall from my friend over at IRM, they were being shipped out for repair after being involved in an accident. But I could be wrong could never get the full story out of him as to what happened.
Great shot and catch!
good question, I never heard anymore about it
Has anything happened to them since they went to Granite City?
Great shot!
Granted they are in sad shape but here's hoping some museum will try and save it if for no other reason than to preserve it for furure generations and keep it from becoming more scrap metal..
They are for sale. I think 500,000
I hope and pray that it is destined for restoration
Thats sad to see, gald you saw them.
Wow, that's some history sitting on a bunch of flat cars.
