String Bob, et al. Those two engines were rebuilt in GREENVILLE, SC and shown to the public there several months ago on a Saturday.
It is and was common for excess engines to be purchased by other RR. Think these two units had quite a list of prior owners from what I remember. Was told that they will serve TEXAS members of APRICO hauling their private passenger cars with AMTRAK crews. Must be nice to have lots of spare cash to have your own 1:1 scale AA set of engines!
