For a small railroad with infrequent operations they sure roster quite a few locomotives - on top of getting to use some UP power for their interchange run to Barnes (or is it Albina now?).

The last time I asked Dick about that he made it pretty clear to me that such a travesty wouldn't happen. (I might be exaggerating a little, though.)
I would think that P&W might be interested in a few to replace what's left of their 567 powered fleet, but they already had two -1500s on the roster in the past and sent them packing after just a short time. Their one remaining SW-1200 (1201) seems to linger around; the other three -1200s that they inherited from the P&S are elsewhere.
