Does this "parts" supplier remain in Cheyenne, along with the 844, or has it been moved to Silvis with the rest of the fleet?

She's still in Cheyoming, Dick. The driver brake shoes were melted down to the hangers last time she was moved, it's a miracle that the tires didn't come off (keepers ?). The donation special had enough trouble without dealing with that, and there is no need for FEF spares out in Silvis, anyhow.
