556 now has a well done display set up for it. There exchanging the reusable parts to restore 557. you can no longer get into the cab but the display has bench seats made from train wheels as well as the history of steam and 556.

corrections: boiler pressure was 225, not 210 #557 was converted from coal to oil in 1955 and was the last steam locomotive on AKRR, so #556 must have been converted before that.
