Dude,
They sold half their stuff when they were evicted from Hunters Harbor in San Francisco...
Now they're down to like a dozen pieces in good shape except for the F units. Their stuff is roadworthy: the FM, the GP9 are nice to haves when the steamer is down... A few passenger cars and bags doesnt hurt and boxcars for parts storage. Even Wahsatch contractors redid the brake valves on the cars.
UP is being slow, but they've got them moving now. GGRM is UPs customer.
At this rate, are you suggesting GGRM to sell everything, except 2472?

PS: Can GGRM keep 2472s tender, or that has to be sold, too?
