This is great news! This little beauty is on top of the rimrock hills overlooking Billings near the airport. When I last saw her she was "leaning down the hill" (due to lack of ground support) and there was still coal in the tender. Glad to see someone is paying her some attention.

Alas, they took the fence down. Still, the site is hard to get to (though a stone's throw from the airport entrance and next to a busy state highway. This is the only NP class L-7 extant.
