This 0-6-0 is on display in the City park in Marysville. Its bell, headlight, tender reverse light, and builder's plates are all missing (I can remember the headlight being there as a child, circa 1980's) and while the gauge shells are in the cab, all glass and face plates of gauges have been broken out. This engine sat decaying for a number of years, until Marysville decided something needed to be done. I believe IRM tried to acquire the locomotive in the late 1990's, but failed. It was eventually repainted and its display track redone in 2000, but the display track is already showing signs of sinking again. It is still open to the elements and two kids, and has about two bags-worth of concrete down its stack. TJ Gaffney
