What is the fate of Western Maryland's 734 Steam Engine? Where is she? Is the 734 under cover or exposed to the elements? Will she run again?

She is out of service and must undergo an FRA mandated 15 year boiler inspection. Thus, there is no work being do on her, until the restoration/overhaul of the former C&O 2-6-6-2 #1309 is completed.
Where is she?
Still on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, at their shop complex.
Is the 734 under cover or exposed to the elements?
Yes, she is "exposed to the elements" as the WMSR does not have sufficient space in their building while the work on #1309 continues.
Will she run again?
Who knows.
