Figured it was worth a mention that Steam Operations Corporation will be doing the 1472 on WPYR #73. Below is a copy of the "Announcement" that was posted a little bit ago:
"We are proud to announce that our company will be performing the 1,472 day rebuild on White Pass & Yukon Route 73! The locomotive is being transported to our partners Continental Fabricators Inc. in St. Louis where the work will be performed. ***Please note that the worksite is not open to the public!***"

The move of the engine that distance really adds to the overall cost of the 1472.

Martin,
Its quite the haul for sure. SOC does seem to do some good work (N&W 611 comes to mind).
