Yes John,

It is the locomotive that Charles Brown owned and rolled over in the earthquake.

It went to Texas and operated for a couple of operations. Then about three years ago a pin in the piston linkage comes out and it shatters the left cylinder when the unrestrained piston strikes the end of it. If I remember correctly the repairs were completed several months ago.
