There are quite a few out there. Ones that I can think of off hand are:

1. An English built 0-6-0 switcher originally used at a power station which has been under restoration for over ten years somewhere in Louisville, KY. While I've heard mention of this engine several times as well assurances from posters on local dicussion boards that this engine does exist I haven't so much as seen one picture, web post, or any mention what-so-ever from anyone actually involved in the project.

2. The two 2-8-0's from the West Virginia Northern and a Heisler being restored by the West Virginia Railroad Museum. While you never hear anything by word of mouth, they do tend to keep their website updated alot better than many groups.

3. The 2-4-2 Columbia type engine at the St. Louis. Iron Mt. & Southern Railroad in Jackson, MO.

4. Reader Railroad 2-6-0 #2 in Reader, Arkansas. Of course not hearing much of anything can be said about the whole railroad. The only time I hear mention of the whole group anymore is when their train gets rented for a movie shoot.

5. WP&Y #71 at Dollywood

6. Southern 2-8-0 #541 in Knoxville, TN.

7. Southern #722 and 2-8-0 #1702 at the Great Smokey Mountains Railroad in North Carolina. Although I think it's generally accepted work on these two is merely progressing extremely slow or has just fizzled out all together.

8. Lee Cypress 2-6-2 #4 now at the WK&S Railroad in Pennsylvania. Was originally a restoration project in Hardin, KY that no one ever heard any news about and then the group doing it unexpectently just disbanded.

9. 2-8-0 #501 at the Conway Scenic Railroad in New Hampshire.

Thats just about what I can think of at the moment.

.....Santa Maria Valley 2-8-2 #21 comes to mind. They were doing major boiler work on this locomotive a number of years back, but nothing has been posted recently that I've run across. Is this still an active restoration?

6. Southern 2-8-0 #541 in Knoxville, TN.

Thats just about what I can think of at the moment.

The British 0-6-0T does exist here in Louisville. It is somewhat dissassembled and stored outdoors. Nobody is working on it that I'm aware of........sad. I'll try to get some photos soon to post.

The 0-6-0 in question was and probably still owned by a local gentleman. The original idea was to run the locomotive from the Louisville Science Center to the Portland Museum (Portland is a neighborhood west of downtown Louisville along the Ohio River and Louisville & Portland Canal). The idea was the lay track on the old ICRR roadbed that led to Central Station downtown.

Some members of the KRM steam program worked on it as well, but I think all serious work stopped at least 10 years ago, if not more. The work was being done on private property at a business located in the former PRR freight house in Louisville. This building is visible from I-64, along with a Pullman Standard Amtrak coach and a restored NC&STL 40' boxcar that belongs to KRM.
