Right you are it is in a museum, but the cost of maintaining the display and shelter are mounting and the old junker is in jeopardy of being scrapped out.
It is just too expensive to keep any longer.
I have my torch ready to cut this pot metal apart!
Geeze dickweed, we DO NOT need commetns like that. The best thing to happen is for it to return to operation. BTW, that may not happen for many years to come. Worst off, it may never return to the rails where it belongs.
WOW what a ride that would have been. Wish I'd known of it. Thanks to KETC for the great documentary on this fine piece of history. And a bigger thanks for all the people who brought this Awesome Machine back to life. You all are great Americans.

Maybe we do need people to speak up about cutting up these old junkers. They are all junk iron and should be cut up and melted.
They will never return to the rails! They will be sent to the junk yard for cutting up and melting down.
That is a good thing!

@micahthatrocks
Those were radio earphones...not ear protection...they were necessary to communicate with the dispatcher on the rail lines they run on.
