Well, folks thanks to D.F. Barnheart & Assoc. they have sold Florida East Coast RR #148, an oil burner, to a group up in Traverse City Michigan. From what I can tell the #148 was moved after the line it was working on (Indepentant Branch) was closed down. Far as I can tell, it needs a cab, defianately a boiler job (exterior), and possibily some driver work, new rods and tires. So the company that is trying to restore it has a long way to go!! :P
