Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, May 10, 2007 4:01 PM

I saw somepics on rrpicturearchives of 3 ARR GP49s in Tacoma, WA back in Feb. I have read that they are for sale. Does anyone know where they are being storedof if they have been sold?

These might be the same ones that are being repainted by WSOR at Horicon in the new ARR paint job. They look sharp!!

I believe ARR sold 5 of the 9 to Helm (2801, 03, 04, 06 and 07) during Dec 2006, and the 2801 and 2804 went to Chile.
