XCEL Riverside Generating Station Locomotive

Rumor has it the Riverside Generating Station in Minneapolis, owned by XCEL Energy, has donated or sold their SW locomotive and it is to be moved on Wednesday. The plant changed from coal to natural gas a few years ago and the unit is now surplus. I was told it will be moved to the BNSF Grove Yard (Northtown)via the plant's rail spur, but it will need to negotiate a 200 foot gap where the track is missing at California Street. I am assuming a crane or cranes will be needed for it to get to the Grove Yard. Who acquired the locomotive is any one's guess, but it may be bound for a museum. Heads up if you live in the area.
