Thanks to Firepics member Andrew2340 for this picture and the information on its current status. It's sitting at a transportation museum down in the Carolinas. While I was still a member of the Company I brought this to their attention, as we were looking for our own parade piece. We never did contact the museum to see if they'd be interested in selling her. Unfortunately a lack of money, and more importantly, a lack of storage for any parade piece, prevented us from bringing her home. Here she is in her current condition:[/quote]
Too bad Joe. That is sad because you Wanaque guys took such good care of that baby. Most likely it responded to the largest fire loss of North America in the year of 1957 that Butler hosted.
