For many years, 2700 was displayed in Coonskin Park in Charleston, WV. While displayed in the park, 2700 was neglected and vandalized. The area where 2700 was displayed was adjacent to the B&O line that ran from Charleston to Sutton. In the early 1970s, the St. Albans Fire Department restored and moved 2700 to St. Albans, WV. When 2700 was moved, it was pulled along this same line to the mainline of the NYC and up river cross the Kanawha at Deep Water approximately 45 miles east of Charleston. It was then brought back down the C&O mainline to St. Albans. The closer bridge across the Kanawha in Charleston was unable to carry both 2700 and the locomotives needed to pull her.
Today, 2700 is stored on a siding blocked by several baggage cars near the Dennison Railroad Museum in Dennison, OH. She has been completely stripped of all the gauges, valves, name plates, windows, bell, whistle and anything else you can think of. Many of these items were donated by individuals during the campaign to restore her back in the 70s. Unfortunately, she is in worse shape today than after enduring years of vandalism in Coonskin Park.
