The #1304/#6805 was later leased to the MTA, and was subsequently retired and sold to Howard & Peggy Thornton, and is now in the collection of the Oklahoma Railway Museum as the MISTLETOE II. Scanned with an Epson V550 from an original Kodachrome 35mm slide. Date is approximate. Photographer is unknown.
