These engines are on a LifeSaver special that left Oklahoma City OK today and now at El Reno. Guess they will turn north and head back to Wichita KS and KC.

Thanks for the post, it did lead earlier this month http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,1015035

It seems to me they are taking great pains to keep it from leading, perhaps to preserve it, or maybe it is still having problems. I personally saw them go way out of their way to put the WP in the rear of the consist at Cheyenne recently, having to go around a bunch of other stuff to balloon the entire consist, after they had done the same thing the morning before thinking the consist was going east. It went west instead. - - - - - - - - - - - JLH

I've been wondering about that too... They've had the others leading, so seems weird the WP is almost always stuck in back.
