Maybe I'm jumping the gun here, but I KNEW this was going to happen, one day anyway.
2102 is too good a locomotive to sit idle forever.
A certain individual has stepped forward with the funds neccisary to restore #2102 to service, and an inspection is underway to decide whether or not 2102 is in good enough shape to make a restoration feasable. If everything goes through, the project funder hopes to have 2102 operating for his 70th birthday in 2017.
Photos have already begun circulating of the inspection and of the loco being separated from the tender.
Nothing is for certain yet, but it's nice to think that we could have not one, but two T-1s operating before the close of the decade.
Anyone have more info?
