That's unfortunate news regarding the current condition of the 4876. The same sad state of affairs has befallen the 4879. Regrettably, it may have already reached the point at which restoration is no longer an option. As I mentioned above, the URHS has designated the locomotive for disposition but there doesn't appear to be much interest in it due to its extensive deterioration.

I'll post more photos. I have to get more of my slides scanned into the computer.

Bob,

I just did a little research and it appears that pretty soon after the photo I posted was done (circa 2006), the B&O museum staff moved it out of the yard and onto the property and have started some work on it. Speculation was either for diposition elsewhere or for restoration at the Musuem since there is no affiliation with the CSX and they are expanding the collection beyond CSX predecessor roads.

Could this be a hint of good news?
