Just lettered but not yet started after the overhaul, she sits in the Museum's new Display Building with a handful of other equipment. The track work inside and outside the building is nearing completion. The building will be dedicated this fall. Click here. |

Definitely looks interesting. I really like the nickel plate on the nose. Not the usual jewelry that I'd expect to see on a diesel. Maybe an old steamer from the 1940s, but an FM road switcher definitely looks different. My compliments to the chef. |
