I grew up about a mile from a small roadside attraction that was on US 20 west of Chicago called The Hoot, Toot & Whistle miniature steam railway where this locomotive resided for 20 years. I spent a lot of my youth over there and really loved this machine. I was very happy to find that she survives as #98 at the Riverside and Great Northern Ry in the Wisconsin Dells.

Well, I was there this weekend and took this short video that you might enjoy;
