>The Western Railway Museum has rationalized its collection by giving or trading equipment that was outside of our mission to museums where the equipment fits their mission. I am very pleased when I see equipment that we had neglected because it was outside of our focus being well cared for, indeed being restored and operated, by others.

On the other hand, this was a result of a vicious political back-stabbing process by those with an agenda to rule the roost. The switch from California Railway Museum to Western Railway Museum was also a rigged and heavily biased political process. If you're so proud of that missonary statement, please explain why the WP 334, WP 94, and all those heavyweights are still on the property. I wouldn't say that either the WP 917, the victim of a recent fender-bender, nor the SN 712, which has been more or less left open to the elements to rust, is better of because of having been deaccessioned from RVJ. Last I heard, the Saskatoon 12 will never run again (this is "good"?). Has there been any progress on trading the SDE 1043 (former TARS 436) to Branford for that ex-UIC B-W locomotive?
