[edit] Thank you
Thank you, Terrycarroll, for fixing my references. I'd been trying to figure out how to make them work and then I see you fixed them. Thank you.
However, regarding someone else's update - I don't think the engine could be called "restored to operation" at the current time. For the last 4 years it has sat in the museum without its jacket and all the flues removed, while they ultrasound the boiler.
I am currently writing up the second part of 819's history to complete the article, but it is slow going. (Formerly SassyPony)

I corrected the build date and the in service date to what is shown in Joe Strapac's book Cotton Belt Locomotives. The last revenue service for the #819 was in the late Spring or early Summer of 1953. The 819 had been leased to the T&NO and when returned was laid up in Tyler.
