According to Hugh Odom posting on Railway Preservation News, back when ACL 1031 (now at Spencer, NC) was still on display in Florence, this little 0-4-0 was displayed in front of a fried chicken restaurant next to US 52 near the I95 overpass. The boiler is actually a Kewanee stationary heating boiler sitting on the original locomotive frames. I believe the stack (apart from the spark arrestor addition) and the cab are also original to the locomotive. The tender is just an open-front steel box.
