This compressed air loco has been moved to the LASTA (Louisiana Steam Train Association) yard where SP #745 is stored on Airline Hwy in Jefferson La, across the street from Oschner Hospital. It looks to be in as good a shape as the photo in your website.

We have all the parts for this locomotive. They where removed before we put it in the park. The loco was moved in 2003 to our yard on Jefferson HWY. in New Orleans. Plans are to restore it to running condition. This porter has one cylinder bigger then the other it used the same air twice. Theirs a small air tank in the middle of the train to hold the low pressure air and also works like a condenser for the High pressure air. Richard Jacobs Ex. Dir. Louisiana Railway Heritage Trust

It should be noted that this not an actual steam locomotive.  It is in fact a pneumatic locomotive.  This type of locomotive was designed for use hazardous areas where a spark from a conventional locomotive's fire could cause an explosion or fire.  An air compressor in a safe location would be used to pressurize the tanks and the locomotive would run on this compressed air.  Most locomotives of this type had only one large tank, making the three tank design seen here very unusual.  Additionally,  it should be remarked that operating such a large pressurized vessel of riveted construction is similar to driving around a large air powered bomb.  Care had to be taken not exceed safe pressure or case any damage to the tanks that might harm their structural integrity.
