Boxcar 3223 is indeed in Antonito, awaiting work to return it to roadable condition. It lacks couplers and running gear, basically everything metal - trucks, wheelsets, bearings, truss rods and brake system, all of which has to be sourced or fabricated, complicated by the fact that wheelsets in good condition are in short supply. It isn't on the schedule for this year as there are 2 boxcars ahead of it in the queue, but we'll be rounding up needed parts this summer so we can work on it next year. Its a lot of work.
