We usually regard the frames as carrying the identity of the locomotive, so Niles Canyon Railway is the location. Boilers often go away for repair these days, but thanks for your information.

It could be said that this locomotive is in two places at once. While the running gear and frame are at the Niles Canyon Railway Rail Yard in Brightside, California, the boiler is undergoing restoration in Antonio, Colorado.
