Nostalgia & History > Kennecott RS-2 at Campo?Date: 08/02/15 04:37 Kennecott RS-2 at Campo? Author: donstrack Is the former Kennecott RS-2 907 still at Pacific Southwest Railway Museum at Campo, California?
This web page does not show it. https://www.psrm.org/trains/diesel/ It was donated to them by Kennecott in 1984, and moved to Campo in 1987. It was built in 1949 as Kennecott-Nevada 103, and moved to Utah in 1978. Here is a photo of it in the Kennecott dead line at Garfield, Utah in September 1983.

Author: 6088 Early 1988 I would guess, possibly late '87, but it was brought back to runable condition in early '88, and went to Railfair in San Diego May of '88 as ATSF 2098. So it's possible it was painted before being repaired, but I doubt it. I looked in the old news letters online for members, and there are none listed for that time frame, so I can't get the exact day or month.
