old number indeed #69 purchased and subsequently resold once more during 2025 or even 2026?

Hello, it is me me again Andrew Wolf here with an unusual query—three separate sources at Nebraska’s Stuhr Museum employees/volunteers confirmed that old steam locomotive No. 69, once a workhorse pulling trains nationwide, was sold back to Alaska’s White Pass & Yukon Railroad. Strangely, it’s still sitting on its original tracks.

Who purchased it—2026 or even 2025? When will it ship out?

 Even the WP&YR person who emailed me seems clueless.
As well as what they indeed want to use her indeed for?
This person does not indeed know what is really truly totally actually is indeed going on here.

I need answers.

Rally the rail enthusiasts—someone must know what’s *really* happening here.
Signed by

Andrew, that is a former narrow gauge engine, probably built by Baldwin, for the National RR of Mexico. It is an outside frame 2-8-0 with Walshearts Valve Gear. Apparently it was sold to the White Pass, and later sold to the Stuhr Museum in Nebraska where it operated on a loop of narrow gauge track. It was later sold or traded back to the White Pass. It is not related fo C&S #69 in any way.

You can learn more about it at the Stuhr Museum Website, you can also google "Stuhr Museum #69" where you will find pictures.
