Last few times I saw it, it is sitting on the west fork of the wye where the L&W connects with NS. From a residential street, its about 200' back in the woods.

Dana, I'm sorry to tell you that as of 2009, the locomotive is still very much in use. The L&W uses it to work a number of small industries located along its line. So, the loco will probably never be donated. You could try buying it, but since it's the L&W's only locomotive, I doubt that would happen either.

thats hard to believe looking at it, not a scratch in either knuckle, doors left open, and magically ends up under the same tree in every photo? Someone owning it I believe, using it I have my doubts.
