ATSF 5704
ATSF 5704 resting in the evening sun at Kansas City Union Station. This unit was the result of 18 months of hard work bringing it back to its original 1976 spec. Before cosmetic restoration, this unit was GN 6484. Better yet, it was the original 5704. It was due to be scrapped in Memphis before being donated in early 2020. The next leg of its journey is to the Southern California Railroad Museum where it will be operationally restored.
