Your link doesn`t work. Any of these train sets in Saudi Arabia would be in
better shape then they would be in a tropical environment or a salty sea side
location.

Yes there are 2. The Gods set of the 1936 Twin/Nebraska Zephyr is there
along with one of the 1937? DZ sets. I think its one of the sets that was
partially articulated. Reports are that there are 19 cars beside the NZ set.
Both of these sets are listed on the BRHS website at http://www.burlingt
onroute.com/ docs/rosters/ remain_diesel. html. I do have an update for that
particular page just about ready to go, but the info about the Saudi equipment
is still current. Supposedly, the Saudi government said that IRM could have
the cars, but the man leading the effort passed away and the effort fell
apart. That would be quite a chuck of change to get the equipment back over
here. On top of that, I don't believe that anyone knows the conditions that
they are in, but the sand and the heat can't be very good.
