Wouldn't be the only time M454 went tits up during its fantrip days, which this is by the brighter paint on it, as compared to M134 paint car next to it. I'd date it as mid to late 1960s.</font> <br><br><font size="2" face="Microsoft Sans Serif">"At that time the tow cars were M200 (M458/4140) and M452 (4100). M454 was still technically a "scraper" (plow) and was chosen for fantrip duty because it was considered expendable. It later went to PTM and was rendered for parts in the 1980s.</font> <br><br><font size="2" face="Microsoft Sans Serif">"Does that help?"</font></div><div><font size="2" face="Microsoft Sans Serif"><br></font></div><div><font size="2" face="Microsoft Sans Serif">Thanks Dave. </font><br><div><div>On May 29, 2013, at 2:21 PM, John Swindler wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><br>No, it's an electrical short. <br><br>M454 lasted couple more decades - sold to PTM and eventually scrapped at PTM.
