Thanks very much for the info.

On the subject of the 2134, I have had an idea for quite some time. As most of Us know, there are, and have been for years, two old "reefers" and a caboose in Needles on display. I do not know the people that take care of them, but they all have been repainted and graffiti watch has been obvious and dealt with immediately. Somebody is concerned of their apperance. I have always thought that an ATSF engine is needed to complete the "train". 2134 would make an excellent candidate! I have been watching what has happened to the two remaining bicentennial
-2s and hope that at least one, if not both, of them are saved. My suggestion of one coming to Needles has not been sucessful. Basically, a bicentennial is too long of a locomotive for those 40' cars anyway, but a geep would be just right!!

Any of You "in the loop" with enough pull to get the 2134 to Needles in leiu of it just being cut up for scrap? I can make a few contacts if this is a good suggestion.
