The move was published "live" on their Twitter feed. They gave updates along the way as to where the units where, and they showed pictures of them arriving into Ogden.

It is my understanding that these units no longer have ANY connection to the Portland people at all. They have been sold (or donated, or whatever) to the Ogden Train Museum (I don't know the formal name of the museum). They will be put on static display, and will never be placed into operating order.

I think one of the biggest mistakes they made was painting that F40 into Daylight colors. It looks ridiculous. There were a lot of people behind the project at the beginning, and we were all thinking that it was going to be restored so that it could be operated on the rails, with Amtrak Phase III livery and everything. But someone got the bright idea of painting it Daylight orange, which makes absolutely no sense. Once that happened, I could see the interest go swirling down the toilet. I'm glad that F40 is gone----it looked like hell. Hopefully Ogden will repaint it to its proper colors.
