Yep and they said the Big Boy would never run again! Only time will tell on this one. I have seen engines disassembled and shipped via truck... not a cheap solution, but its been done. This would be a perfect static restoration for the Pennsylvania RR Museum.
Besides insn't there a spot were the NKP 757 was sitting that the 643 could nest at?
Only time and money will tell...

“PRR railroad museum” is not to be confused With the RR museum of PA. RRMPA is where 757 came from and is also in Strasburg. The “PRR railroad museum” is actually the Railroaders Memorial Museum in Altoona. The RRMPA got rid of 757 because it supposedly didn’t fit in, and nor will a B&LE Texas. As much as I’d love to see it come out here to us folks around Strasburg, she would have a higher chance of going to the Altoona Museum than RRMPA.
