- Sold to the Feather River Rail Society for preservation as WP 731. The FRRS is the parent organization of the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, California. The FRRS/WPRM also purchased IAIS 300, which was built as WP 725. Both units left Council Bluffs on Nov 9, 1995, where Helm had been storing them on the IAIS, and arrived in Portola on Feb 8, 1996. Both units were sold by Helm for the scrap price of $30,000 each.
