Last I heard the #1361 loco as no chance of ever getting running due to no State or Federal funding

#1361 is a K4.
#39 is a G5 that was used on the Long Island Railroad and is currently being restored to running condition at Strasburg. Last I heard, this project is funded.

Funded about half way. I think its around $800,000 that needs to be raised yet.

Ah, I see. How far along is the restoration?

Not too far. The boiler is the only thing there I believe, and due to the project not being 100% funded yet, the back shop at Strasburg hasn't really done to much to her.
