I took the liberty of posting a picture Dave emailed me of one of the units on my layout website (Page 12). You can see it at:

I work for the UP as a road engineer out of Proviso yard to Clinton Iowa. A friend of mine that works at the Proviso Diesel Shop told me about the Olympic units being in the yard.

So does anybody know where the units are now?

Here are my pictures, sorry, no thumbnails yet, you'll just have to click on each word in blue by the numbers until I can get some thumbnails up. I'll try and get that done today:
