Ex-LIRR 1553 for sale?

I just recieved word that the ex-LIRR RS-3 1553 may be for sale. Can anyone confirm?

Is this the engine currently at the Monticello Railroad Museum?

Apparently Ohio Central's Alcos (and GE and EMDs) are available for sale or lease. See:

Notice it still has its "crab eye" marker lights!

1553 looks great
