I think everything up to 4127 is gone - 4141 definitely is. I'll look for 4142 and 4136 tomorrow if I go by there.

I've seen the 4100 on the pvl alot recently. Also while 4201 is there I've seen the 4202 alot also on the pvl recently. So it seems like one engine can be working while quite literally the next numbered engine in line can be on the dead line.I also caught the 4108 today on 853.

Every now and then they spin it and see who's the lucky engine an then the "winner" is sent over to Garwood. On occasion, rational people may "save" a locomotive and remove it from the storage track, like Mr. Medium said.LOL! I have to say that's funny.
