[quote user="A McIntosh"] Somewhere I read that Roanoke was going to send the Wabash E8 to the MOT in St. Louis in addition to the FT B unit. It would be neat if the swap could be a permanent deal, since the E unit probably was a regular in St. Louis back in the day. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote]    I have spoken to the curator of the collections at MOT and he backs the story up. The move will not be done immediately, as it is a major effort to get a beast that large ready for a move that far.  I will keep in touch with him and post updates as I get them.   I however, hope this will not turn out to become a permanent deal. 2156 is the only Y6a left in existence, and I want her right where I can get to her in 20 minutes drive. Besides, Diesel is nowhere neat as steam. Steam is what makes the museum worth visiting. Besides, at MOT, there's so much stuff that used be regulars at St. Louis there, a diesel would not be a new or interesting exhibit.   St. Louis MOT seems to get the short end of the stick no matter how you cut it. It's nice 2156 will journey back to it's original area, and be seen by other people. But I hope it turns out for the best.
