I went to Keystone Cement in Bath, PA. today. I found a flurry of activity at the site. There were two conrail flat cars, two 100 ton cranes, lots of people, and the partial owners of the engine, Bob Spanagle and his wife. The engine and tender were being lifted onto the flat cars. I talked to one of the crane operators who I went to high school with, and, he told me the engine was going to California, a car museum. With engine on the flat car, it will be around 20 ft. high. How will that fit under over-passes along the NS corridor? How will it fit under power lines along the cement secondary. Anyway, it will probably move on Wednesday, that is when Conrail moves slow freight on the secondary.<br>

what's the name of the "car museum" and the town where the engine is going?<br> i wager the engine is there at least 3 more weeks until somebody figures out they're supposed to pick it up; any other guesses??<br> <br> <br>

The name of the museum is the "Nethercult Collection" in Sylmar, California<br>

If this is the destination, then it will be a static piece. The owner, J.B. Nethercutt, has very deep pockets and a first class automobile museum. The museum, by the way, is called San Sylmar.<br>

F.Y.I., some info and photos of this private automotive museum can be found at http://www.classics.com/nthct.html<p>Regards,<br>Jim Robinson<br>
