@DaftStrings SP&S 700 is still in Portland, and since it's on the National Register of Histroic Places, I don't think it's going anywhere soon.
SP&S 539 is the engine that moved down to Arizona, and used to be in Battle Ground. It's an almost identical model to 700. It's a shame a few months after it moved, the Grand Canyon line shut down their steam service, so 539 will probably never run again...

I'd imagine OR&N 197 will also be doing this at some point in the future.
Is this the engine that's moved to the grand canyon?

@DaftStrings: I have heard nothing about this train leaving Portland, but I'm not in the circles of people close to the train and it's management. However, knowing how much folks here in the pacific NW are attached to this train, I would sincerely doubt that it would be moved anywhere anytime soon!

thanks. That front row seat was a bit of a liability when the whistle blew -- it was so loud it vibrated through my chest. quite a beast, indeed.
