passenger excursion service on the D&H until April 1978. In April they were purchased by Castolite Corporation, a locomotive leasing firm. The pair was leased for use on the Michigan Northern Railway in 1979 before being moved to the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad (ELS). The E&LS used #1216 for a short time in mid-1979, and a photo exists of it operating near Turner, Michigan. It was used in freight service again in the fall of 1982, but its crankshaft broke not long after. Both #1216 and #1205 have been stored since that time on E&LS property in Escanaba and Wells, Michigan, inaccessible to the public. On January 10, 2020, Trains Magazine reported that the two surviving units will be going to a museum for preservation, but subsequent 2021 reporting revealed that a full restoration was economically unfeasible at that time. On December 2, 2021, the E&LS 1216 was moved from storage in Escanaba, Michigan to a shop at the railroad's headquarters in Wells, Michigan to free up space for freight car cleaning at the Escanaba car shop.
