a lot more of them scattered all over the country than I had ever imagined. In
some cases steam engines are left out in the weather to eventually rot because
they are used as decorator items, kinda like painted saws. We have a big 8
wheeler sitting at the entrance to Fairmount Park here in Riverside. It is
fenced off to keep kids away. It has been parked on a short section of track
since before I came here in the middle 50's. Every so often it will get really
ugly and the city will throw on a coat of black paint. It has never been
maintained. The powers that be think it is just a wonderful decorator thing
sitting there looking ugly.

We have an old steam engine (Baldwin, I think) sitting as a statue here
in Temple, TX. In fact, a few years ago the city sold off the museum
building where it sat out front and had to move it. The relocated it
about a mile away over city streets. It was a grand production.
