ACL 501
Title:  ACL 501
Description:  Atlantic Coast Line #501 was built as an E3A in November 1939 (c/n 959) on EMC Order E335, was wrecked before delivery to ACL, returned to EMC and rebuilt as an E6A. It was retired in 1972 and later owned by Glen Monhart, restored to ACL appearance, and kept in Wisconsin. After Mr. Monhart was tragically killed in an auto accident the engine was purchased from the estate for $200,000, of which NC DOT paid $180,000 (using ISTEA and other state/federal funds) and the NC Transportation History Museum at Spencer paid $20,000. It's actually owned by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and it is on "long term loan" to the museum:
