I see that SP 2-8-2 #745 is under steam and travelling around again. Is the locomotive still being towed sans rods or do they have the bearing problem(s) squared away?

From what I understand, the bearing problem has been fixed. Also, I heard that there will be a public trip using private cars behind the 745 from KC to New Orleans in August.

Is SP 745 still in KC on display? Has she run or moved under her own power since arriving there?

It's still on display up there, but it was recently moved to Liberty, MO for display, I think. It will visit one other town in Missouri, I'm not sure where. I think BNSF and KCS have been towing the engine, but it is under steam.
