He's referring to the two GP9's, 3844 and 3850, that were wrecked (bent frames and internal damage) in the Willits yard in 1997. There are pics of them on the 'Net, which aren't hard to find. I'm not sure of their current status, or of the units abandoned in Eureka. Jeff Moore or Tony Johnson might, if they see this.
