After retirement the engine was sold to Dr. Albert Folds of Marianna, In 1989 the M & B Engine # 444 was bought back and returned to Blountstown for display, in the M & B Railroad Memorial Park. The park is a small strip of land that houses Marianna & Blountstown Rainroad Steam Locomotive 444 and M&B Railroad Caboose 102. The M & B was used to ship a wide array of agricultural products , mail, manufactured goods and building products.
