I am seeking the current status of Oxychem's SW1, #326. Prior to service on Oxychem, it served as Republic Steel #326, and was built new as Maryland and Pennsylvania #70.

THe Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad Preservation Society recently acquired former MPA SW9 #82, and would likely be very interested in the current status of this ex-MPA diesel.

Thanks,
