Sumter & Choctaw 102 is a preserved 2-8-2 at the National Railroad Museum. [citeweb|title=Surviving Steam Locomotives in Wisconsin|url=http://www.steamlocomotive.com/lists/WI.shtml|accessdate=2007-11-29]

It spent its career on the Sumter and Choctaw Railway and was retired in 1962 and donated to the National Railroad Museum. In the 1980s, the tender of the locomotive was replaced with a tender equipped with two diesel engines. Thus the locomotive became a moving display. In 2007, one of the diesel engines was replaced with a more powerful engine so that it can now pull trains.
