Has anyone been in North Africa in recent years to see if there is anything left of the Baldwins there? I would guess they are all scrapped by now, but am just curious if any might have been preserved. The endcab roadswitchers with the rotocyclone filters that operated in Morocco were very unique.
I know this is an old post, but there might be interest in this:

Pix of DB405 at Taza. (What can we do, or who can we contact, to see about preserving and/or restoring this locomotive?)
I was frankly delighted to see it! (Bet many of you will be, too...)
BTW, one builder's plate on this unit is intact; it's #73472, built by Baldwin-Westinghouse in November 1947 -- one of the pictures shows the plate quite well...
