Relisted from the GN Yahoogroups list. Note, the engine was moved to Pasco by barge, curious that it will be returned by rail.

Work included removing all side rods to allow for cleaning and inspection of bearings and crank pins,servicing air system for brakes during move,servicing all journals and general inspection of locomotive. The project also included painting and lettering to replicate the look when last operated by GN. Rods were painted silver to replicate a polished finish. The locomotive is owned by Klickitat County, Washington. The move to Wishram is being coordinated by BNSF, Klickitat County and Steam Operations Corporation. No time has been set for the move.
