The City of Elko, Nevada, has ex-Western Pacific GP9 #727 on display in a city park/parking area where the Western Pacific was operated through downtown. Are there any other Diesel locomotives displayed in city parks? Attachment: WP_diesel in park.jpg [ 66.08 KiB | Viewed 10206 times ] |

How intact are any of these, or are they just body shells with trucks under them? |

Homewood, IL has IC "GP10" (rebuilt GP9) 8408 and a caboose by the Amtrak station on the CN/IC mainline. It's an empty shell. |

There are a trio of UP Centennials in city parks: 6900 Kenefick Park, Omaha, NE 6901 Ross Park, Pocatello, ID 6922 Cody Park, North Platte, NE None of these have anything under the hood. |

So the only two operable centennials are the one in the UP heritage fleet, and the one in Portola? (Portola one may need some work to be operable, I don't remember). |

There were at least two F7A units in parks in the midwest at one time. They may have succumbed to tornado damage over the years. |

There was a thread here a couple of years ago about some PRR e units that had operated in preservation but were then tubed out for use in a restaurant. |

Rochelle Railroad Park (IL) has two Whitcombs on display: a 50 tonner, Hall Printing Co. #5, which I believe is intact, and a little two foot gauge critter, shell only. It's more of a jungle gym for the kids to play on, now. Brodhead, WI has a MILW FM on display at the depot. I think the prime mover and traction motors are long gone. |
