M&E 19 was sidelined due to damage to the #2 axle, a flat spot specifically. With the arrival of three MP15DCs, it was decided not to pursue restoring 19. It has been sold to the Tri-state Railway Historical Society, which is raising $5,000 to get the #2 axle replaced and the locomotive running again. http://dieseldetailer.proboards.com/thread/17617/bought-alco-last-week
