BUGX is just one operating entity of a bigger parent, which I have not been able to track down yet. BUGX has been buying "Vintage collectable" locomotives a lot longer the IP or Ed Ellis ever dreamt of. You have the former SP and B&LE EMDs which have been at Schelville for what, 20+ years now? Then you have the collection at the "Turlock & Western" yard in Chemurgic California. The "Diesel Motive" yard in Stockton, and the CCT inside the Port of Stockton, the stuff languishing at Eureka, and now the Midwest fleet.
In the BUGX Company Family, you also have DieselMotive, Blackwell Northern Gateway, and NSM Transportation Company. There may be more that I am not aware of yet.
