The bell and headlamp are long gone. They were stolen after the locomotive was moved to the park. I have no connection with the Miner’s Memorial Museum in Paris, but this is what I have heard from friends that volunteer there. The locomotive will actually be displayed across the street from the miner’s memorial museum in front of the site of the former Paris depot. A replica depot is in future plans, but that will be a long way off. When restored the engine will have Missouri Pacific Lines lettering on the engineers side, and Ft. Smith, Subiaco, & Rock Island on the fireman’s side. It will some time before they get to the locomotive. The museum is relatively new, and they have several projects going on.
