Re: 4-4-0&2-6-0 (Studebakers)

Brian & James and whoever is out there
and has an interest in this topic.
Sorry I did not finish my thoughts. I was called away and decided to send my message as is. And now to continue my theory.
"The 'Studebaker's will not be buried too deep, certainly not at a water table level. After all, post-Hoover dam construction that area was no longer flushed and it quickly dried out, much to the chagrin of the Mexicans who lost fertile soil."
If we dig down and hit one, best think is to mark it and get a GPS fix on it. I originally wrote, "Next step is to contact some folks with back hoes" I now think it would be better to cover up the Studebaker with the intend to return in the near future and, preferably, pull out both with a back hoe, diggers, and a crane.
It would best to keep the locals out of it as much as possible and have a base camp established just across the border with the most direct road route.
Now for the tricky part. I suggest the engines be trucked, once loaded on flat bed trailers, to Empalme (Estado Sonora)where a pre-arranged agreement with the fellows down there, to clean up 2 old Studebakers from the U.S. They can make such repairs as resources can provide. Payment will be via L/C once the engines and their tenders, now on flat cars, cross the border at Nogales interchange and enter U.S. territory. This way, the inheritors of the SP at Emplame (means RR Junction in Spanish) get some work and money which they desperately need.
Any comments out there?
