On the 22nd of February 2023, the badly damaged, but rollable locomotive was transferred to Frauenfeld, where it was repaired by DLM. On February 18, 2025, it was heated, with an electric preheater and the pilot burner of the light oil firing. The electrical equipment, including the ETM-S train protection system, suffered a total loss in the fire and still has to be reconstructed. No. 52.8055 should be back on the mainline steam circuit in Switzerland very soon.
