Never say never, but until the money is reached 39's boiler will continue to sit out in the east end of the SRC yard. Like I've mentioned before, the engine's biggest problem is its competition IMO. There are multiple other restoration efforts that are on going right now which obviously draws money and time away from the 39. On another point, as much as I understand LIRR fan's wish to see her run on the LIRR, 39 would have an excellent home at the SRC once restored (full time steam shop, extremely competent crew members and staff, well kept up ROW, etc).
