MARC still has two, presently numbered 91 and 92.  They are not presently 
planned for use, the proposed overhaul by Boise two years ago was extremely 
over budget, or we would have had them for eight more years.  They are 
available for possible trade for something 645 powered that could be used as

a shop switcher, or if not, will be sold at auction when we finally have the

Zulu car auction (which will happen when we finally get the rest of the new 
MARC III cars delivered).  If the results of the NS Altoona auction are any 
indication, I would find something to trade!

More shameless self plugging: I still have diner 470 (770) for sale or trade

to a good home!
