Bill; Yes this is the same car that was on the YW; KYLE later moved it to his SJVR after which it was sold to a private individual, moved to Port of Redwood City for restoration work and on to storage at Niles Canyon.
It is currently on the turntable lead at Brooklyn to be turned prior to delivery to the OPR at East Portland.
