The word on the IAIS list is that the M420Rs (800 – 802) have been sold off, and as such will be leaving the railroad soon. No idea when they’ll be leaving exactly, but for anyone wanting to see them one more time, all three are stored at Council Bluffs. Thanks to Dave (DDA) for this bit. Update (29-Mar-2005): The Alcos are going to a good home – they’ll be joining fellow M420s at the Southern Railroad of New Jersey, where they’ll be repaired and placed back into regular service.
