5629 sustained some serious freeze damage in 58 or 59 after the fire was
dropped but the boiler not drained after providing stand-by heat for Lincoln RH.
The insides of the hot pump are in little pieces. Some flue sheet distress is
also present. This info comes from a person who was inside the front end many
years ago. I have not been inside.
Anyway, 5631 is easier to get at.

John,I didn't swing by any of the retired engines this trip. A couple years
ago I did visit the Colo. RR Museum and spend time with the beautiful Q
engine there. I wonder if that donation stipulation forbidding the operation
could be overridden/waived some day?!
