DispositionOn static display, awaiting possible restoration, based in Scranton, Pennsylvania

After being retired, the locomotive was sold to the Edaville Railroad in September 1961, and then was later moved to Bellows Falls, Vermont and became part of the Steamtown, U.S.A. collection in 1969.[1] Unfortunately, the 3377 was the target of copper thieves during her trip to Steamtown, it was never repaired and has been cannibalized for parts for Steamtown's operating Canadian National 2-8-2, the 3254. Even the pilot wheels and trailing truck were removed, making it an oversized 0-8-0.[2] The locomotive sits on static display south of the Steamtown shops, although Steamtown is considering on possibly restoring 3377 to operating condition as part of their operating fleet in the near future.
