I believe this collection included at least one caboose, plus other railroad equipment. Information on these other items would be welcome.

This info is from www.steamlocomotive.com.
Coronet Phosphate 2-6-2t no. 5, built by H. K. Porter in 1911, const. no. 4874, is said to be going to the Colfax Railroad Museum, Colfax, Wisconsin.
Minneapolis & St. Louis 2-8-0 no. 471, built by Baldwin in 1910, const. no. 35702, is slated to be going to a private party.
I have no idea how reliable or timely this information may be. I had been aware of the existence of these engines, and had harbored a secret hope that the M&StL Consolidation might go to the Minnesota Transportation Museum in St. Paul; but I have no idea whether they would want the engine or whether they could accommodate it. I just hope they're both going to good homes.
P.S. The locomotives were intended to be a part of some kind of historical railroad-themed display in Annandale, MN, but the owner suffered some kind of reverses and the project was never developed as planned.
You might expand your post a bit, never heard of the lost locomotives except the "lost locomotives of Roanoke." Is Annandale in MN?
Anyone know where the two locomotives from annandale are going
