A few days ago JR East posted a bunch of videos on their YT channel about the C58 239 restoration. This was done in late 2012 to 2013.

I just happened upon this information, Union Pacific will be restoring locomotive #4014, a 4-8-8-4 that's been on static display in Pomona since the early '60s. I wonder if JR East's restoration activities are known at UP. Apparently this has been fairly well cared for, including greasing of various bearings throughout the drive system.

This C58 was on static display in a park in Morioka City until autumn of last year. It will pull the SL Ginga Tetsudou excursions once back in service. Refurbished at Omiya like C61 20, it was originally built by Kawasaki in 1940. In this video by tobu2181, you can see it running on the depot's test track.
