T1 2100

I found this and was wondering what is going to be done to the locomotive.

It is supposedly going to Tacoma to begin excursion service. This service was supposed to start sometime over the summer, but as you can see never materialized. With the current price of oil the owner might be regretting the converion from coal (although I've been told it is not that hard to reverse the process).

Let's hope they take that hideous circus paint off of her as well. At least the Southern Pacific style red marker has been removed, I guess the ditch lights will remain a necessary evil and it's good that she'll be soon under steam again.

Engine and other equipment in WA now, might even be unloaded now. I don't care what paint scheme she's in, good enough to hear she's running.
She could be hanging from a casino ceiling right now...

She is running, albeit with an F-40 for HEP and 3 ex-Metra Gallery cars. Don't know any specifics, but she IS running in the Pacific Northwest.
