I hope 1501 get's preserved.

[@BNSFrailfan01]

I hope so as well, though it is not likely.

@@BNSFrailfan01 Yeah, that's probably what is going to happen considering the fact it seems trashed.

@@user-DeLorean-Dude2024 it might not get scrapped. They're still awaiting the reopening of the Oklahoma and Kansas Railroad formerly BNGR that was shut down earlier this year due to a disgusting conductor allowing minors in the cab.

I can’t believe it’s been a year since BUGX got their hands on 1501!

[@BNSFrailfan01]

It’s definitely crazy, at least she’s still in one piece for the time being!

[@OfficialSEIC2K6]

#1501 is on better tracks than #1801. If DieselMotive were to change their mind, they could pull 1501 out of there easily. #1801 would be more of a challenge though since the tracks it's stored on are in horrible condition

[@BNSFrailfan01]

@@OfficialSEIC2K6 The 1801 and 1501 are on the same rail line, tracks are in horrible condition everywhere.

[@SPNGMalibu18]

@@BNSFrailfan01 that’s one of the reasons why the BUGX railroad shut down, because they spent money on buying locomotives than maintenance on track. I know it’s not what they want, but it’s something they need to save all the trouble from their locomotives derailing on corrupted track.

[@BNSFrailfan01]

@@SPNGMalibu18 BUGX doesn’t own these rails anymore, Rock Island Rail does and is attempting to restore the line to service.

RAAAAH ITS THE BIG RUSTY THING WOOOOOOOO

[@rockguitarist931]

I'm surprised they didn't wind up at the IRM or a California rail museum, it's a shame they'll probably be made into appliances.

[@BNSFrailfan01]

There’s a possibility it could go to a nearby museum; however, I reached out to that museum and they said they have no current plans to acquire it.

[@OfficialSEIC2K6]

Until BUGX decides the fate of #1501 and #1801, they're just gonna continue to sit around.

[@rockguitarist931]

@@OfficialSEIC2K6 That'd be like buying two '59 Cadillacs and wondering what to do with them haha.

[@OfficialSEIC2K6]

Multiple DieselMotive locomotives on the still defunct BNGR. I sure hope scrapping isnt the fate of #1501 and #1801. They're sitting in storage awaiting an uncertain fate. Their fate is to be determined by DieselMotive. If they aren't scrapped, they'll continue sitting around until the Oklahoma and Kansas Railroad finally reopens. Maybe #1501 and #1801 could join #156 at ORM and put to work on their excursions while BUGX still retains ownership of them.

Most likely scrap, currently stuck on a siding with an uncertain future.

But then again, probably not. They see the historical significance of #1501 and might still find a way to have her preserved and maybe even operational again
