No! The first thing to do would be field-jack her up and service all the roller bearings. Don't even think of moving her a few feet or even inches until that is done!

I wouldn't even think of moving her without first doing just that! A point that should be repeated before any "rescue".

What about C&O 2707? That engine looks terrible. Having seen it twice last year it's a shame to see it as it sits. It was badly vandalized in the 60's and 70's. Maybe someone who knows more about it than I do can elaborate more on it.
