Lots of work ahead to properly prepare her for storage. Emptying the boiler and drying it out is most important, As the renowned metallurgist Neil Young has often commented: Rust Never Sleeps.

I had actually stopped looking a new picture because they look like a dead engine being pushed into a park. Finally a decent shot of the oil burner!

If it is done for the year, the usual winterization. I'm sure there is a worklist of things to address. First thing would be a thorough boiler wash and inspection. As my late best buddy once said: Eating, sleeping and time off are signs of weakness" in the steam world.
