Brody - looks like the city of Fort Erie is going to step up and stabilize / start restoring 6218 now:

Also take note that the Alberta Railway Museum was willing to take 6218 away to be restored including picking up the shipping costs.
So looks like 6218 will be staying in Canada so you can look for a new engine to rescue. NKP 624 may be a good one for you to get involved with since it went to FWRHS so will be handy for you being a local member of that organization. They also have NKP SD9 358 which is currently undergoing restoration.

Promising news! The only thing that grates me about that article is how someone can't bother to do some basic research on a steam locomotive: "Its engine is cracked open and spewing iron and rust", things like that.

That's annoying.
