An attempt to acquire a retired steam engine for Sterling failed when C. R. Phillips of the Burlington railroad notified city council that No. 919 is not available. The news disappointed oldtime railroad men, Chamber of Commerce members, and council. Phillips said the oldiron house cannot be had and the railroad may have other plans for the steamer, so Sterling will not receive the engine.
