I believe so! Haven't heard that it was moved..

She was still there this past Saturday, August 16th (off on a siding, not on the turntable). Looks as good in person as in the pics- great job.

Biked up to Port a couple of weeks ago (early Sept.). She is still there and looking b-e-a-u-tiful! Well worth the trip.

Best of all, Erie E8 No.833 has the same type of 3 chime horn she was delivered with back in 1951.
