I'd always thought that it was a real one, gutted completly. The oldstation used to have an open patio. Looks like it's closed now

The history on this one is actually PRR 5896A -> PRR 4296 -> PC 4296 -> AMTK 303 -> AMTK 1925 (heater car conversion) -> AMTK 675 -> "MILW 35A", not PRR 5899A. I personally have checked the frame number as 6181-A11, and both the 4296 and 675 numbers are visible under the paint.

MILW 35A was a pretty unit back then. Where is she now, and in what condition?

She still sits at the old Milwaukee Road station, which is now a bike shop. She could use a paint job though

The tow rings on either side of the MILW herald give this away as not being an original MILW locomotive.
