It was just pulled into the shops for asbestos abatement and cleanup.
It will never run again, but it will look much better and be available
to get closer to. I use the never run again because that's what people

At the Steamtown museum in Pennsylvania they have an engine like that on

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

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
