Need the help of someone in Tacoma, WA. to verify if Florida East coast 2000, a former Heritage locomotive, is in Tacoma. This caught my attention when I saw a posted spot on Heritage Units that FEC 2000 was in Peoria, IL. Checked the spotting history. It showed: From 8-1-2013 to 11-10-2013 "Dewman45" reported this unit in New Smyrna Beach, FL. Next he, she or it reported the unit at Valdosta, GA. on 2-21-14. Then at Sheffield, AL. on 2-29-2014. Finally, at Peoria, IL. on 3-2-2014. No one in the Peoria, IL. area could find FEC 2000. Then on 3-17-2014, "Dewman45" has reported FEC 2000 to be in Tacoma, Washington. So the puzzle is, how could this locomotive move across the United States without someone else seeing it?
One of the "reports" stated that the unit had become EMDX 2000. Now the reference to FEC 2000 has been deleted from Heritage Units!
Hopefully someone can solve this mystery.
Thank you,
