Not sure why they were moved, but I did find a YouTube video that shows them in what looks to be the "new" location. Is this the location you saw them? It sure is a lot more exposed. Not good. But at least the valuable removables are stored away safely. Well I'm assuming safely. These parts have been stored away pretty much since the two arrived at the museum.



I'm not sure if I can embed the video link, so if it doesn't work here is a direct link:




YouTube Santa Fe 5021 and 2925

And here is an interesting write up about the 5021 (with some info on the 2925 as well) explaining her history, her storage by the Santa Fe, her movement to Sacramento, and her demise in Sacramento:
