Contractor "That Steam Guy" (well-known to most here) has posted a video f activities this morning. Although he was ambiguous about the details, it's been identifies as a Vulcan 0-4-0T on display in Kenova, WV, being moved to Kentucky Steam Heritage in, well, either Ravenna or Irvine:

Vulcan Iron Works builders number #2886, builders date 12-1918 or 1-1919 (sources conflict). built for W. E. Callihan Construction #1 at Columbus, Ohio, and then later went to Potomac Edison Co. #1 at Williamsport, MD, where it survived into operation into the early 1960s as one of the last holdouts of non-preserved commercial steam locomotive operation. It was sold somewhere around 1980, and apparently went through several private owners and locations before ending up on display in Kenova.

Facebook video post (I think it's "public" so no sign-in needed):

Pictures of the loco recently in Kenova (same deal, should be "public"):
