Well, Another wrecker may be available for preservation. Montana Rail Link is being taken over by BNSF. This crane, on roller bearings, will be included in the deal:
Industrial Brownhoist #11658 250t SW 1945
Northern Pacific RY #47 (converted to diesel 09-58)
Burlington Northern #D-256 04-73

One thing I’ve learned…. The want or need is definitely there until one finds out how much it will cost to dismantle, move and reassemble these beasts unless you’re connected to the same railroad and they’ll donate the move - an unlikely scenario. Fingers crossed, though.
