With a little help from the local hobby shop/model railroad club, we were able to find two issues.  First, a wire had broken off the motor.  Second, a SoundTrax decoder had been installed.  Once the decoder and wire was fixed, it was off and running on my track.

Thanks for all your input thus far.  To clarify from a previous comment, I have not actually seen the sound decoder because I have not taken the tender or loco apart, but considering the sound holes were added and it actually made sound, I assume it was added because I'm fairly certain it did not come with it originally.  Because I bought it off the internet, I didn't want to do a dissection with the risk of something breaking if I was going to attempt to return it.  But as it sounds if I can get it to the local hobby shop or model railroading club, they should be able to test or rest the configuration variable to enable alternate power source.  I did not find the jumper board in the box and I probably won't get it.  The gentleman I bought this from I found out knows nothing about model trains (makes me look like I know it all!)  Regardless if I can get this thing running, it looks like I probably ended up with a greater value loco than I expected.  It might be worth the temporary grief someday.   

I'm relatively new to the hobby and don't know much about dcc operation.  I bought an Athearn G9001 locomotive off ebay that should have been dcc ready.  As I have read on these forums, a dcc ready loco should run fine on a conventional dc track.  At this point in time, I'm not ready to move to dcc operation.  When I received the loco, it appears it was updated by the original owner to include a sound decoder, as I noticed small non-factory drilled holes in the bottom of the tender.  I'm not sure if it is fully dcc equipped now or not, I didn't take it apart to find out.  When I placed it on my conventional track, the speaker in the tender was working but I got no response out of the loco.  No light, no movement.  This loco was to be MIB, but it looks like it probably was on display for a while.  Other than maybe needing a little oil from sitting around, would there be something with the decoder that is not allowing it to operate?   Do I need to disconnect the decoder to have it run on my conventional track?  If that isn't necessary, could this be a non-functioning decoder?  I do have the rheostat type power supply to this track.  I have no ability to "talk" to the decoder if one has been installed.
