The combined efforts of NS and the Virginia Museum of Transportation, the following to the St Louis Museum, in order to borrow the 2156 for 5 years:
1) VMT loaned the FTB unit, that matches the EMC FTA original demonstrator fro 1939-1940.
2) NS offered to cosmetically restore/repaint the DDA40X (which is now already in Altoona).
