1127 (pictured) is the one the Oregon Pacific folks are restoring to the appearance shown in this photo.

George, you asked about the trombone whistles. In this photo, 1127 still has one. It was the only one still equipped of the group that was transfered from the LA Division to the Western Division circa 1974. It was eventually stolen while the unit was working in San Jose.
