this locomotive was a fw&d locomotive purchased by t&p after their own steam fleet had been deassessioned out of the roster, they found out that the low lying often flooded branches in louisiana weren't condusive to operating diesel electrics as their traction motors couldn't be submerged in the often over 2 feet of flood water.  the locomotive is on display, sort of, it is in the park completley enclosed in a building as it was the cheapest way of dealing with the asbestos when the steel jacket deteriorated.  the other locomotive mentioned t&p 649 is a 4-4-0 supposed to be under hadley creek on the ex-t&p mainline between fort worth and arlington texas, although several requests and proposals to raise the engine has been spoken of union pacific doesn't want the hassle of re routing trains  in order to remove the bridge over hadley creek , when they are unsure the locomotive is still there, having sunk in 1879 and not being positively identified as being under the bridge area in over 100 years.
