This particular locomotive was listed in teh Winter 2005 Edition of "The Canyon Dispatcher" ( The Grand Canyon Chapter NRHS Newsletter ) as "In need of a good home." I am unaware of any takers to this offer, and as it was written, it sounds like the locomotive was being offered for only the cost to have it moved. A few friends of mine are inquiring as to teh wherabouts of this locomotive and teh means to move her. Should they prove fruitful, the locomotive will be relocated to one of two possible locations in Arkansas with a good chance of steaming again soon.
