Maybe the Railroaders Memorial Museum.
Here's another photo of the new roundhouse area taken in May of this year from the Pedestrian bridge to the Amtrak station

Just was on the Railroader's Memorial Museum Facebook Page. Once the roundhouse is completely down PRR 1361 will be moved inside where restoration of some form will begin.
I don't know whether it will be operating restoration or cosmetic but from reading articles about the locomotive the board there understands that she needs to run. They have come to far with her now to just let her sit.
Plus with the NS steam program things could get going a little easier than before.
It's not nearly as fancy as Jerry Jacobson's new digs, but if it gets more equipment out of the elements, I'm all for it. Any word on what will go inside other than 1361?
