Russ, I'm really looking forward to that next CD.
Are you referring to SP (TNO) 794? She's on display at the Amtrak/Sunset Depot in San Antonio. Last I was there she looked great.
Or, do you mean SP (TNO) 786? She usually pulls the Hill County Flyer from Cedar Park (near Austin) for the Austin Steam Train Association. A the moment though, she's in pieces all over the country undergoing restoration. I believe she's supposed to be back home and running next summer.
