Has there ever been an attempt to restore or move this loco to a railroad museum? It is a husky Lima 2-8-2.

I don't know about any attempt to restore her, but I saw her last year and she is displayed nicely. The museum now houses her indoors. The lighting is a little dark and the wall behind her is painted black, but she looks well cared for. I would recommend that anybody traveling in the Augusta area take a look at her in the Augusta-Richmond museum.

PS: I am looking for a good picture of 302 before she was moved indoors for my website.
