Kenneth M. Creager, who is part of the team relocating LS&I #19 to Frisco, TX, supplied the following:

I am part of the team responsible for the purchase of former LS&I, Lake Huron & Mountain, and Grand Canyon RR #19 and re-locating it from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to a prominent position on static display in Frisco TX.  #19 will be the center piece of a historical park in Frisco now under construction.  The engine will be cosmetically restored along with our 1946 Frisco caboose for permanent display.  #19 is very similar to a number of ALCO engines owned by the FRISCO at the same time period from 1912-19??
