Engine was in Texas 1993-94. BN wanted to display a steam engine at their new corporate HQ and never told the architect about the weight limitations. Hence, it was the only thing weight wise that the walls would hold in the display area. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed and the engine went back to Minnesota. The space in Fort Worth is now occupied by several semi retired business cars.
