I'm sure Ed or others will have the facts, but without checking I seem to 
remember it was trucked somewhere, but used on a PRCo. fantrip for a movement 
to Ingram where it joined others being stored for the museum.  There is 
footage of this movement in  a video tape that I think Sunday River published 
or perhaps it was 
another firm.   If someone doesn't have the answer I'll try and dig that one 
out for you.

832 was moved under its power along with other cars to the museum.  There was 
a postcard photo one time of the Drake loop with 832 on the bridge above it.  
I don't know who took that photo.

This is from memory and if I was responsible, I would take the time to check 
out my facts, but running today and I am sure Ed will straighten us out, or 
maybe Fred III if he is back from Europe.
