"Unidentified" 4-6-0, of obvious CP origin. It looks like OWL's engine. Is it? Who owns it now?

Yes, it is. The locomotive is currently "stuffed and mounted" in Utica, New York. It stands opposite a hobbyshop, and has been completely repainted to look very presentable. Sadly, she is not intact and will likely never feel heat on her grates again. My understanding is that her essential parts, cab pieces, etc. were stored separatly from the loco, years ago. They are no longer with the engine. I should say here that is only a rumor.
This would be a great little loco to run on a shortline stretch for a tourist attraction.
Bob, I have several current images of the loco as she stand today, but don't know how to post them with my response. If you are "hot" to see her please email me. THese same images appeared in the briefs section of RyPN several months back.

I could not down load the pics. of that loco however it is #453 I have some pics of it in steam runing on a branch line out of Mcadam NB. I think it had hand reverse and a chain door. I know the 4-4-0 did. regards bb
