Any Operating Standard Guage Vulcans?

The post about the oldest operating diesel got me thinking about my favorite defunct builder, Vulcan Iron Works.

Are there any operating standard guage Vulcans anywhere?

Don't forget the 1927 Vulcan 0-4-0T "Henry Clay" (and its sister) both serviceable at Pioneer Tunnel in Ashland, Pa.

As of yet it is not operating but we think or hope that by next Christmas we will have it running. Lehigh Valley Coal Company No. 126. Which is a standard gauge 40 ton Vulcan 0-6-0T. At this point we don't know for sure what we will do with the engine. It will probably start out in Owosso, MI if for no other reason than to get a picture of it with our other engine, Flagg Coal Co. No. 75. The following URL gives more info and some pictures of 126.

Rochester & Genesee Valley RR Museum has a Vulcan 0-4-0T that was donated in 1997. It was last run in 1991. We removed the tubes in 2000/2001, and the lagging was removed by contractor in 2002. We're hoping to raise the money to make the needed repairs, in order to run on the Museum Railroad.
