Western Pacific 165 To Return To Steam

I like this quote on their blog; "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. "

Re: Western Pacific 165 To Return To Steam

May I ask here what happened to WP 94?   Last I remember it was at Rio Vista. I was there when the locomotive was steamed up for the 1st time after arriving at the museum. How many years ago.

Thx IGN
