It looks like she is getting a good bit of attention. According to the captions she is being painted and having a shelter built. http://www.flickr.com/photos/46810432@N04/4647150447/ |

Right fine looking loco with good proportions and lines. Not sure about condition, but a great size for tourist service. |

A sister engine is currently undergoing a restoration to service in Minnesota. Not sure how that is going, but you are right that this series of NP 4-6-2's are a nice size for tourist service. Les |

Is that the engine that the city was threatening to bury? I seem to remember something like that going on in one of the Dakotas. |

I seem to recall it was #735 in Minot, North Dakota. I believe there was an effort to remove the asbestos from that engine and move it to a new location in Minot, but I am not exactly sure as to whether that was actually done or not. Les |
