It is my understanding that the locomotive has significant items that go back to 1857 including the boiler and the tender. John White formerly with the Smothsonian believed the locomotive could have been as much as 80% origional. J. David expressed to me that the tender trucks
were replaced and it was obvious that the pilot wheels were also replaced. I was glad to hear that she was in better shape than expected when she left UTEP. Hopefully the citizens of the southwest will reconize the value of this artifact/locomotive. It amazes me that it is still with us today.
