Back in the early 1980s I noticed what appeared to be a Baldwin RF16 B unit car body sitting on the grounds of a coal mine in West Pittston. Recently learned that the car body was still there as of the early 1990s. Some questions for you Keystone State folks:
1.) Was this unit, when active, utilized as a power souce by the mine?
2.) Is the assumption that the mine closed after the Knox disaster correct?
3.) What railroad was the former owner of the unit?
4.) Is the unit still there. If not, when was it removed or scrapped?
Thanks for any and all information.
