Aaron, there is operational and operational. the friction bearings effectively prohibit movement by CSX or NS, making trucking the most reasonable option unless you have some roller bearing equipped boxcar trucks available to change out.

Since Charleston isn't far from Savannah, I am interested in a couple for storage and display IF they are of a reasonably truckable size and weight. The number of them suggests scrapping of some is inevitable which could make brake and truck parts available for moore unique preserved carbodies needing hardware.
