My vote goes to the Arkansas State RR Museum in Pine Bluff, AR, home of SSW 819. This museum is located in what is left of the old Cotton Belt locomotive shops. It was here in 1949 (?) that the SSW 819 was born. It is the sole survivor of this class of home-built 4-8-4s. They have equipment you can walk through, pictures and artifacts from the Pine Bluff area back in the day, and knowledgable volunteers (some old Cotton Belt employees who worked when SSW 819 was running.) who can answer most questions. The 819 is down for an FRA inspection right now, and they could use some extra pairs of hands to help with the project.
