Is this one still around? If so, where is it located?

The locomotive in question was there a number of years ago. It sat back off the road in a field on private property. It was located on Kings Bend Road about one mile from US Highway 80; sitting on the south side of the road. Over the years, brush and trees grew up and hid the locomotive. I attempted a google map aerial view in an attempt to spot her from above but was unable to find it for all the trees. I feel it is still back there.

This one has always bugged me, so I looked at old Google Maps aerials today. You can see it in the January 2013 aerial. I doubt it has been moved since, and is probably completely covered by brush and trees now. Thank you again for the info!
