Current Status
Today N&W 2156 is one of the attractions at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. It sits cosmetically restored, but has not operated in several decades. Although there is some sentiment for restoring 2156 to operational condition, doing so would be a massive undertaking that, even if possible, would probably cost millions of dollars and take years to complete.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
