Disposition of Locomotives - D&S

Howdy,

I've been friended by a gentleman who is apparently a sophmore at Fort Lewis College in Durango and has worked for the railroad for the past 2 years and is calling himself a conductor. He also is stating that he bought RGS #42 from the railrod and has been getting it close to operational. (Rebuilt the cab is not operational.)

I find this to be highly dubious as I am sure I would have seen some traffic from someone somewhere able this. That and some comments he made and then made other comments (such as it's nearly operational) just doesn't jibe.

Please, for my sanity, can someone confirm that this person is obviously living in a dream world? Otherwise, I owe him an apology.

Thank you.

-Rob
