Apparently the folks at Creede may have acquired ex Florida East Coast 4-6-2 No 148 from an owner in Michigan. Engine supposedly being made ready to be shipped - not sure if by truck or flatcar.
One report indicates there are serious wear issues with the frame. The engine has been all over the east on various main line trips and a couple of tourist roads. I don't think it has run in the last 12 or so years.
