This little loco, along with the 4-6-0, and all other equipment formerly associated with the museum, appears to have left the location after I have looked at Google Maps a moment ago.

Would anyone have contact information for the owner of this engine?

Searched the Web and it looks like the museum is closed for good.

I've run into a complete dead end trying to track down this locomotive which has been sold and moved.

It was acquired by Horace G. Poss, of Horace G. Poss & Co. Ltd, a metal working company which had been on Howell Mill Road in Atlanta for "3 generations". The locomotive was displayed in front of this small facility.

Mr. Poss passed away (apparently in the early 1990's) and the ownership of the building passed through several owners. I've chatted with a gentleman from a company called "Dimensional Arts" whose business operated out of the building in the mid-1990's and was there when the children of Mr. Poss sold the locomotive. It was trucked away around 8 or 9 years ago. No one remembers who bought it, or how to contact anyone associated witht he Poss family.

Do any of you good folks know the current whereabouts of this little Porter? Any help would be enormously appreciated.
