[PRCo] Re: NKP Steam pics

After display in Wilkinsburg, I believe that silver NKP 950 was shipped back to Dietz in Sharpsburg for scrapping. 



Many B&O steam locomotives were also scrapped at Dietz in 1958.  I photographed numeroius B&O steam locomotives in Butler, Pa. in 1961 on their way to scrapping.  After that, 
B&O steam was gone.
