What Mike H. said.

Plus, some other things. She's reportedly the most complete of the donated Centennials. The UP was even kind enough to let us strip parts off the 6912 to add to the parts pile.

The 46 has alternators and traction motors (not sure if there are 8 of 'em, but there are some). Actually, most of the parts are there. She needs engine work and is missing quite a few of the control cards for the pre -2 electrical system. Give the engine some electrical work, major prime mover work and probably a dozen pages of "minor" stuff and she'd run, but where?

Until such time as the museum has space for that big beast to stretch its legs, it will remain non-op.
