Grain elevator switcher engine at Harpster Ohio USA?

Does anyone here live near Harpster Ohio and know what happened to the 1949-built ex-CP S-2 switcher they used to have parked on their siding?

I tried numerous google searches and could find nothing newer than 2017. A non-railfan friend went by today (12-9-20) hoping to get some updated photos for me and said the switcher was nowhere to be found. Just wondering if anyone here has any updated information on this historic engine. I sure hope it wasn't finally scrapped.

UPDATE: I can correct the above post and confirm the ex-CP 7096 switcher is still present and onsite after all but in really bad cosmetic shape. Seems to be working well for them and they spend a few dollars every so often to keep it running.

71 years old and counting!
