This locomotive was preserved by Willis F. Baron, who owned a small 12 unit motel. Following his death it went to Sloan Cornell for excursion on his shortline, Gettsburg Railroad. He traded it to Steamtown for a smaller engine, former CPR G5 Pacific 1278 which later became infamous when its boiler failed.

Opening weekend of the 1990 season sees Steamtown excursion train with 8 coaches at Clarks Summit, PA.
