Great view John! And timely too! Hopefully this angle is still available.

759 is sitting at Steamtown, while 757 is sitting at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. Both trains not running, sadly. 765, their younger sister, and 1225 (another berskhire) are both operational. Steamtown is kicking around fixing up 759, but no promises. The RR Museum of Pennsylvania will not fix up 757, but if Strasburg Railroad gets a hold of it, they might fix it up.

757 has a lot of her parts keeping 765 going. So, 765 is alive thanks to her sister. As for 759, she has profound issues and would not be a candidate for restoration as she would need a new, compliant, firebox.
