She's slated for restoration in the near future, so no worries to those concerned ;)

Wouldnt it be interesting if one could run it like it looks here.
Sorta John Bull-esque but much bigger!

Am I correct in saying that would then make her the only Wabash heritage steam locomotive in operable condition?

To see what she would look like in service go to
http://www.webpraxis.ab.ca/cgi-bin/steam/_mpd/mpd.cgi#X
click on the blue "+" sign beside United States, then on the "W" for railroads that started with "W" and then on" +" beside Wabash. You will then see all the wheel arrangements laid out for you. Wabash really did have some clean lined hudsons didn't they. Unfortunately one cannot link from the site, it simply doesn't work, but oh what a resource!
