Also getting a crane in there will be difficult, as the locomotives are located just north of some of the transmission lines leaving the power plant.  Track would likely have to be re-layed to re-connect with the rail spur that used to serve the power plant.  The locomotives would then have to be rolled out to a location where cranes capable of lifting the locomotives could pick them up.  The S motor weights 228,000lbs.  The T motor weighs 285,000lbs.  Not a trivial lift to transport in 1 piece.  Transporting in several pieces is problematic, depending on the level of overall deterioration.  6000 is quite a historic piece.  I did not know they existed, thank you for calling my attention to this.  My suggestion: find out who actually owns them (what museum, historical society, etc), and what plans they have for them (ie restoration, movement etc).  Offer to donate money to that restoration/movement project.
