At the Steamtown museum in Pennsylvania they have an engine like that on
display out front. It hasn't run in a long time, but they said it was
moved to it's current position under its own power.
If you're ever in that area the locomotive shop tour is awesome. They
have the biggest lathe I'd ever seen. They demonstrated changing the
steel tires on a train car.....which involves a lot of fire and hammering.

I went when it was just here in west Chicago. I was not prepared for
the size of it when you stand next to it. Unfortunately I didn't get
to see it running.
It was also leaking like a sieve sitting on the siding, and you could
feel the heat coming off the boiler at 30'.

Yes, but they did not seem too impressed. Not nearly as much as me.

Impressed, or thought it was some lame dinosaur from the past?
When my kids were little, we would take them to the Illinois
Railway Museum in Union, IL. I thought when he was old enough
my son would volunteer there, but then he discovered computer
games and Reddit. https://www.irm.org/ -----Original
