I've talked to the owner of 190 where its stored in Portland.

And I got a model of 190 as well. Very Epic Photo too.

Never saw a diesel like that before, paint wise.

when i was growing up, daylight painted pa's were the passenger power on our hill. no fa's on our devision that i know of, all of our freight power was black widow painted emd's, that is until almost the mid 60s. then we got the k-m's and other odd things started showing up. there were rs's and rsd's stabled in roseville, but they went the other way, over to the cal-p or down the valley. if any of that is unfamliar, as i suspect it might be, my hill was donner summit on the sacramento division of the southern pacific.

one thing that was unique, or at least a little unusual about the alco's we did have. thanks in at least some part, to our road forman of enginies, bill harges, the pinouts on the mu sockets on the alcos, were re-aranged into the emd pattern so the alco's and emd's could be mu'd togather without any special great deal of fuss.

This locomotive is very beautiful! I heard that it was one Santa Fe unit and all the NKP units were scrapped, so the Doyle who have worked in the NKP reformed the Santa Fe unit and turned this in a NKP unit after taking it from México.
In Brazil we have one survivor too, the locomotive stayed a long time at the front of the museum of the CP(Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro) preserved statically, in the 90s, after the privatization of the FEPASA(Ferrovia Paulista Sociedade Anonima, who owned the CP in 1971) in 1998 the museum passed to the city hall of the city of Jundiaí and despite they tryed to restaure it the locomotive was abandoned, the locomotive continues on behalf of the museum but they not have plans to restaure it, the model is one PA-2, one photo I took of the locomotive:

And one website I found with the history of the museum and photos of the PA-2 in 1981:

Some people think this locomotive is bought used by the CP, they think that already runned in USA but this is wrong the 3 PA-2 of the CP came new to Brazil in 1953 to run in the unelectrified tracks of the company, and just to say, the coupling area of the locomotive is different be cause in the time the CP used english style couplings, in 1954 or 1955 the couplings of the locomotives were exchanged.
