In regards to your question as to who maintains 3101, I think that it's IPSCO employees that do it. At Christmas time they puts lights on it, which really looks good. Looking at it now, though, it does appear to be in need of a new paint job. The passenger car that's with it is painted entirely maroon, including the roof, without any lettering. The caboose has changed paint schemes over the years. At one time it was orange (again, no markings). Later, it was painted yellow with CP Rail markings, but recently the paint was peeling and it was starting to look REALLY bad, so just this year they repainted it plain maroon, which looks good now, although it would be better if it at least said Canadian Pacific on it. Another steam locomotive that is preserved in Regina is CNR 4-6-2 #5093, which is on display in front of the city's old Union Station, which is now a casino. I wonder if it maybe came from IPSCO as well originally.
