Being scrapped? Say between 2004-2009.

719 was bought as an incomplete unit, no turbo or main generator along with some other missing parts.  Purchased for its Alco trucks with standard freight gearing to replace the passenger geared trucks under C420 213, ex-Long Island 213.  Trucks have been swapped.  Fuel tank (with some fuel to everyone's surprise), used power assemblies and electrical cabinet switch gear sold to a Kansas shortline which operates GP30s.
