I am glad to see that it's not being cut up. However, based upon the article, I doubt it will/can be put back to running condition.

"Byrne said he expects to spend about $70,000 on the move and engine reconstruction"

Sounds like a paint job and some superficial cosmetic repairs. Was the tender with it?

Nope, and I don't think any of the other so-called "lost" engines have one either.
