Unfortunately, the 229's sister engine the 201 hasn't operated since 2001. She was red-tagged because she is in need of a major overhaul. Both engines were lucky to have been sent back to the U.S. Most steam locomotives the built the canal ended up being pushed off the back of barges into the ocean.

Most of the ex-patriated locos that went south to build the Panama Canal were re-gauged for use in the US. Many wound up on logging shortlines in the south. One which is nearly operational is at the Eureka Springs & North Arkansas touris line, and previously had been run on a private line called the Scott and Bearskin Lake RR.

I thought the Panama Railroad had a 5' Gauge.  How sure are we that this locomotive is "Standard Gauge"?
