The Philadelphia headquarters of the Pennsylvania Railroad displayed the number and builders plates of the final steam locomotive, B6sb switcher (0-6-0) #5244, to operate. The little loco had been leased to the Union Transportation Railroad of New Egypt, New Jersey.
The plate display disappeared at the time of the auction and it is unknown whether it was sold or informally "adopted" by an ex-PRR official, or whether it remains in the building today. I am trying to locate the piece(s) to determine their final disposition. If you can help me with this quest, I'd appreciate it greatly.
