The locomotive is currently inoperable as a hole was drilled in the engine as per Tier 4 Regulation standards to ensure the locomotive cannot operate again.

However, as of 2024, just like Santa Fe #5704, it has yet to arrive at the museum and stored at the BNSF Railway Commerce Yard. Just like Santa Fe #5704, 2105 is expected to arrive at the museum in early May 2025 due to the completion of the "Perris Connection".

The design was successful, and desired by other shops needing machine tools. Soon, the local company was in the shear manufacturing business.
