Southern Pacific 2-10-2 in Hermann Park in Houston. Apparently taken last year. Any progress on the project since then?

There is a plan afoot to move her out of the park and to the NRHS chapter's musuem. The boiler has been evaluated and deemed a good restoration candidate,and the group taking care of the engine has an agreement for a place to run tthe engine when and if she is restored.
