Can we confirm the frames didn’t survive? The only reason I ask is one of these locomotives was sent for a TP130 conversion to Tractive Power Corp and in this case, they only want the frames and trucks and some of the cab to do a conversion.

This will be the first, when completed for the one sent down to the states.
