Howdy all,
I am the owner of the locomotive in question and would like to thank Dave Buccolo, the CCT, and Industrial Railways Company for working with me to move and store the locomotive. My plans are to restore the locomotive to operation and document the process. To accomplish this, the locomotive has been stabilized and its current condition is being documented prior to large scale restoration work. This restoration will take many years and I and my crew are under no misconceptions that this will be a speedy return to operation. Following restoration, the locomotive will be used for public outreach and educational purposes to spread knowledge regarding steam locomotives, historic railroading, and industrial archaeology. If anyone has any information or technical knowledge regarding this locomotive, please contact me at:

Thank you for your interest and have a great holiday!
