This engine was moved from storage in Paris, KY in late 2010 and is now on display at "Riney-B" Park in Nicholasville, KY. The engine was donated to Nicholasville and quickly moved by the R.J. Corman derailment group because of a serious threat of scrapping by a landowner in Paris where she was sitting.

I don't know about the engine but several of the coaches had extensive damage to them from rough train handling or excessive coupling speed when they were being moved to KRM.  One coach is in Winchester, Ky while the others sit in Lexington, Ky awaiting there fate.  Any body know if No. 11 was involved in this or not?

This engine is scheduled to be moved from storage in Paris and be moved (along with the rest of the KCR equipment) to KRM at New Haven.

At some point the locomotive was transferred/sold to the Kentucky Central Railway and operated until 1993, after which it was stored.
