"Please, let me go outside to play!"

Southern PS-4 # 1401 entombed in the American History Museum in Washington DC. They outshopped this fine lady in the 60s before the building was built around her. People today look at her and wonder how easy it'd be to just fire her up. We can only dream, though...

She is indeed a beauty... You used to be able to get some decent photos, but when they re-arranged the displays they made it quite tough to get photos.

Here's an incredible night shot, which could only be done by the museum itself since they moved artifacts out of the way to get the shot.
