Please give the street where it is so I can mapquest it if you know. 2 6900s + the big boy all within a couple of weeks I guess you can call that one super treat. Maybe the only thing better would be to see the team I root for win a SB after 36 years. Thanks.

If you're going to be coming up to Poky from SLC via I-15, take the 5th Ave. Exit (the first Pocatello Exit northbound). Turn left on 5th; 5th separates into 4th (both are one-way) shortly thereafter. Take a left on Fredregill; follow it until you get to a four-way stop at 2nd. Turn left on 2nd and drive past the old drive-in and into the park. There will be a large parking lot/swimming pool on your right. Go ahead and park in the lot; the #6901, the #2005 and the caboose will be in plain sight adjacent to the railroad tracks (old departure yard). <br /> <br />As for the #6901, it still has its twin 645s and main alternators. However, just about everything else (power assemblies, cab signals stuffs, module cards, air compressors, etc.) were removed at the Pocatello Diesel Shop before it was placed on display in the park.
