I'm assuming (which is never safe when it comes to Pan Am) that the 72 was running on WANM/NMWA because they either needed the power, or it had gone up to Detroit on WA-2, and was picked up by WANM and made the trip up.
15 was scrapped several years ago, and it has been even longer for the 27. Both are history. The original slug (100) from the B&M was scrapped a while ago. The 500 and 513 are supposed to go to Paducah for rebuild, and the 300 and 308 will either be traded to LTE, sent to Paducah or scrapped. So far as I know, there are no plans for slugs.
