this locomotive and 1286 were acquired by Waterloo central for a possible potential return to service. Total rebuild is about 175-225,000 dollars. Both are in surprisingly good condition.

In 1980, she was used on a few excursions on the Southern as a stand in for SRR 4501 and C&O 2716(currently at the time being overhauled)
