    I'll be driving through Chattanooga area tomorrow, would like to know if anyone here on Trainboard knows if the Western Pacific GP7 No706 is still there. If so, how do I find it.
    Here is a picture that was taken in March.

    I tried some Google searches (might be older info though)

    Found some references it was in South Pittsburg which is just SW of Kimball.

    dont know if it is still up there or not. I know that it is no longer in South Pittsburgh. You may want to go to Kimbal and see if you can find it. I would like to get some more pics of it
