There's an old thread in here , " Surviving B&M equipment" or some such title, that would be a good start. Bob, whose last name I can never spell, of Bobs Photo fame did a couple of picture books with rosters, but I don't. remember if he listed dispositions. And finally, the B&MRRHS has published several stories / rosters over the years in their magazine " B&M bulletin". You might try them for copies.

Thanks for adding that and reminding me , is there another car nearby? I was cruising around up there more than a few years ago and remember seeing what I thought was a six axle heavy. Maybe this is that car and a case of foggy memory on this end,

Someone with way too much free time should go through this thread and create a condensed list of the survivors.

I'll say the same. I Could go through one page at a time as time permits and boil things down to just a list of survivors. Might free up some server space. As you say though, not right away.

200 ton crane, B&M. 3365, Industrial Brownhoist 1929
Flat car B&M 524
Tool and cable car MeC 546
Cable storage car MeC. 545
Crew car. B&M 309

Another to add to the list - in December 2023, CSX donated MEC Russell snow plow #82 to Downeast Scenic Railroad. It was moved over road from Northern Maine Junction to Washington Junction for preservation.
