CGR has apparently sold this non-operating 2-8-0 (ex- Lake Superior & Ishpeming) to a group in Texas. http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?10,766995 ryarger@rypn.org

Going back to the inception of the steam program on Grand Canyon, didn't Grand Canyon purchase 5 of the ex-LS&I 2-8-0s (this being one of them)? If so, is this the start of a motive power shuffle on GC, i.e. possibly selling some more of the 2-8-0s and go in search of other power? jcpdeke_NO_SPAM@aol.com

Not neccessarily; #19 was never operable, but served instead as a parts source for the other engines. It has been on display for some time; when I visited back in 1998 or so, it had wooden replicas of the air brake pump and other parts, IIRC. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Project james@survivingworldsteam.com
