Absolutely Larry,
Phase 1 NW2s were being retired in the early 70's. However, Phase 5 NW2s like Justin's BLI NW2 were built in 1949 and were still being used into the early 80s. I'll get back to you on Southern Pacific retired Phase 5 NW2s by Monday. Justin mentioned that he had other locomotives, so he could use the NW2 as a lease locomotive if the LIRY's engine is in for repairs.
