I hope so too. Almost had a lead on a foreign buyer, but it fell through.

They are currently heading to Anaheim, CA for scrap. These will not see any further operation. They are retired.

What replaced them? That snarky looking thing Wisconsin didn't want?

Sort of. They have the two Fugly sets they bought. I am not sure what happened with the other two sets. Anyone?

The Wisconsin trainsets went to the Beech Grove shops some time ago. 

This video shows the two sets plus the spare car and cab car.

C'ept there are still two sets in service.  True, they are the Fuglies, but they still run!

Shoulda stayed in Portland Randy, where we got sun shine for the movement!

They can't get to the scrapper fast enough!

Railcar scrapper in Anaheim? 
Is that the place just off the ex-ATSF Olive Subdivision, just south of the 91 Freeway?

I wonder if the Genersis unit shrouded in white is for some future Papal Train?

Considering this drone footage is from 2016? Even 5 years is a bit much for "future"
 

Kicking myself for missing the opportunity in Milwaukie yesterday.
