The Santa Cruz Interchange question and thread below prompted a question that has been rattling around in my brain over the last couple days...has the SCBT&P sold or scrapped the #2600? I "toured" the line on Google Earth earlier this weekend...the most recent imagery date for the entire line is 19 June 2011. One of the CF-7's (presumably the #2641, since it is still around to get its picture taken a day or two ago) is clearly visible with their usual four-car passenger train behind the boardwalk, and I can see no evidence that the other CF-7 (presumably the #2600) is visible anywhere in the yards at Felton, nor on any of the other yard or side tracks. Which begs the question...if it is not visible in the imagery this past June, has it been sold or scrapped, or is it perfectly positioned underneath the one tree obscuring part of one siding just south of the old SP depot? All of the rest of the railroad's rolling stock (passenger and m-o-w) is visible and accounted for in Felton, and I don't believe they have hauled any freight for at least a couple years now, which would seem to rule out the possibility that there is a second train somewhere on the line, unless the diesel at Santa Cruz failed and the other is en route to rescue it...

Thanks in advance for any answers.
