The Minnesota Zephyr trainset is being moved from Stillwater to active rail in Bayport.

From the grapevine: last June I heard from a MTMer who is a friend of the Zephyr's owner that he asked if one of the F units could be donated to the MTM. The answer was no, but did the museum want to buy the unit? No deal. So I guess there's no chance that not even a piece of the trainset will remain close to its old home.

That's great news! I figured it'd be scrapped since it ended up landlocked.
