This Engine is on display at the Labor and Industry Museum, of which I'm a member, in Bellville IL where it was originally manufactured. It was purchased in an auction from the Ford Foundation and brought back to Belleville. It was completely restored and is shown as it was originally painted from the factory. Harrison petitioned Barnum and Bailey to use their logo and name (Jumbo) and it was granted. We take the engine out several times a year for parades and it is a working engine. The building it is housed in was specifically built as an annex to the main museum to house this engine.
