We visited the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield village again in October 2019 and caught a bit of footage of the Torch Lake, the last remaining Mason Bogie in the world. One of the docents explained that she was hidden (intentionally?) in the back of a shed behind other locos when taken out of service. This is what allowed her to avoid being scrapped (like DSP&P 57 was scrapped) for the wartime scrap drive during WWII.
Here is a post with the video of the Torch Lake leaving one of the stations.
Enjoy,
Kurt
