Which was at the Pomona Fairgrounds since the '60's

If you look into the subject, there are several on display but 4014 was determined to be the best candidate for restoration, in large part due to the dry SoCal climate.

So....yeah...if you climbed on a giant steam engine at Pomona Fairgrounds, that was it!
