The OR&L 85 and the Oahu Sugar #1 at Travel Town are now at the LK&P in Hawaii (Maui). They were traded for a Baldwin diesel from the California Western. The OR&L cars were to go to but were found to be to bad of shape to survive the trip. The last I heard, OR&L 85 is in the process of having a new boiler contructed. as the original one was too far gone for restoration. I have heard nothing about Oahu Sugar #1 other than it too would need a new boiler.
BTW the trade was organized by the LK&P through Kyle Railways who at the time owed both the CWR and LK&P.
