I am VERY supportive of the recent trades between these two museums. Each received a piece of equipment which matches their collections better. Will we see more of this in the future? Here at Campo, we recently we able to find a good home for a small wooden business car to Sumpter Valley and bring home RS-32 SP 4004. What's/Who's next? |

Jim, While returning the 4004 to Espee's scarlet/grey paint scheme will be attractive, would not the current Simplot all-red be more historically accurate for this engine and your locale? :-) Ken |

I hope so. I know there are many museums with items that have little relevance to their mission rusting in the back lot. And I want to personally thank PSRM for giving the 4004 a good home. I always thought it was a neat engine and I'm looking forward to taking a ride through the Gorge behind her someday. Eugene |
