Does anyone know what is the plan with the engine stored at Jim Thorpe, PA?

As of right now there are no plans for CP 1098.
Here is a small video clip of 1098 on a test fire back in 1996.

It was interesting to see Bill Sherwood atop the 1098, setting the safeties. In 1995, he was in Utah, working on the 618. Anybody know where he's at or what he's up to now?
