Saw this on my google reader news feed. Does anyone know more details on this locomotive?

Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.

A similar/identical article was posted to TrainOrders last week or so.

One poster speculated that the loco was:
"Coahuila & Zacatecas Railway # 6. (Mexico) Three foot gauge, outside framed. Built by Baldwin in 1904, as a 4-6-2, converted by CyZ to a 4-6-0.
CyZ was built as a copper mining railway, and was disrupted by the Mexican revolution.
The 'Pancho Villa' part is possibly more legend than fact. (How would you prove this without a picture?)
Sold in the early 1960's to Early West Railways,(along with two 2-8-0's and about a dozen ng cars), EWRy was a group in Southern California that wanted to build a tourist RR near Pomona, CA.
Then it was displayed at a resturaunt in SoCal, then sold to private individuals.
Last I heard it was stored near Lake Elsinore, CA. "

Basic info matches this loco:
