The last time I saw the combine it had wheel sets that had "inspection" holes in the wheels. Unless they have been changes the combine is still in St. Thomas. It DID NOT come out to Washington with 2100

It was only in St. Thomas a very short period of time 10 years ago. It definitely is not there now. If its not in Washington, then it must still be in Warden, Alberta. The same place ex-CNR Mountain 6060 is stored. I last saw them both there about 8 years ago.

I found proof the combine was still in Warden, Alberta as of July 2010. You can catch a glimpse of it between the boxcar and ex-CN caboose at the :47 second mark of this YouTube video.....

Anyone know where the C&O "Chessie" Budd combine that was seen with the locomotive when moving west ended up?

Actually you probably saw a photo of it when 2100 was moved from the Ohio Central to St. Thomas, Ontario about 13 years ago. They have not been together since.
