<p>As per the Aero-train in St. Louis:</p> <p> </p> <p>Engine and traction motors were removed by RI RR before donation.</p> <p>Somewhere around 2002-2004 a cosmetic restoration was done on the whole train. A very good job was done; however it was then moved to the lower lot of the museum, and is now "rail-locked" A crane would be needed to move it back up to a mainline connection.</p> <p>Unfortuantly, this move has also left it open to the elements, and is starting to show it.</p> <p>An interview during the restoration in 2003:</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oItV2ymPPGM" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>The movement to the lower lot.</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RdyvrXlBUEI" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>What the Aerotrain Looks like now:</p> <p><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BtrLEEfSF7Y/mqdefault.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>At least she's been saved, and who knows what may happen from here? Only time will tell.</p> <p>-S. Connor</p>
