Yup, that's where I first saw it, and contacted the photographer who kindly granted permission to use a copy on steamlocomotive.info.

I love rypn.org!

Pretty beefy for a little engine!

Considering this engine's rarity, however, this is really not a good situation for it. It used to be kept rollable on museum trackage, but would now probably need some work to do that again, without doing damage to journals and bearings. This tiny gem should be at least kept under cover and greased, if not brought back into operation again.

This engine in now a lawn ornament on a pedestal out front of the Canadian Railway Museum. It is probably WAY down on their list to be restored.
