I met a man who works in the train section of this museum. He says the first questions guests ask are: "Where's the bathroom?", "Where's Kennedys car?", & "Where's the Alleghany"

While it is true that this engine does still leak oil, the display is a static one and does NOT rotate the drivers. The rumor that she came to dearborn under her own power is an old one and I can find on one who can disprove it. (I chose to believe it.) That being said, this is a very tired locomotive, being overdue for overhaul when she came to Dearborn

The locomotive and tender weigh 600 tons, stands more than sixteen feet tall and 125 feet long. The Allegheny’s boiler was the largest ever built for a steam locomotive. This locomotive is the most photographed object in the Henry Ford Museum.

this locomotive ran on its own power from the yards to the museum, and is still in immaculate condition.  It has a unique display that rotates its drivers slowly, so it's still leaking lube oil!!
