    Neat. There's an old Gulf & Ship Island caboose a few miles away from me that's in the same condition, and it has a For Sale sign on it. I'll get a photo if anyone is interested.....:tb-smile:

    Actually, only one of those PAs is being restored to service, as an NKP unit, by Doyle McCormack in Portland, OR. Not sure about the other one.

    My understanding is that it will receive a cosmetic only restoration and be displayed at the Smithsonian Museum.

    That's what I heard to, when this all came about, but I thought Doyle was to do it?
