And a sweet little bi-directional locomotive it is. One would think that all three of these engines would be prime restoration candidates for a tourist shortline.

Well, I agree, it would be a "useful engine" at a certain museum operation I know well. But, two of the three are ensconced at Museums (yes, capital "M" type ones), and the third appears to be privately owned and not available.

46 would sound good on the grade up to the dam, with 4 CNR coaches in tow!!
