[PRR-talk] Looking for info PRR 0-6-0 shifter found in Sharpsburg, Pa under bridge

[Derrick J Brashear]

I'd guess it was this one, one of those you mentioned:

       W&WRR (private,stored), Hockessin, DE
           o 60 - B-6sb 0-6-0

             " The B-6sa on the Wilmington & Western in Hockessin 
Delawareis easily seen. It's stored on a siding at where the tracks cross 
route 41 in "downtown" Hockessin (i.e., suburban Wilmington). It's parked 
behind 2 Reading MU's (in Septa paint). It can be seen easily without 
entering railroad property from the parking lot of an office/professional 
building complex off Yorklyn Road (the traffic light on route 41). I've no 
knowledge of steam restoration work, but to me this engine seems _at best_ 
a candidate for cosmetic-only restoration. It's pretty sad looking."--

             Here's some more info on #60-- "It was bougth by the Cemline 
Corp in the early 50s to be used as a stationary boiler. i saw it around 
1980. It was in Harmarville PA, (photo) just over the hillside from route 
28, directly underneath the bridge of the Pennsylvaina Turnpike. It was 
pretty well stripped and had no lettering visible but you could stilll 
climb in it like a kid even though it was sitting amongst trees and weeds 
and brush. it was close to a large corrugated industrial building, but was 
out of sight of almost everyone. I went back several years later and the 
engine was gone.&quot-- Mike Kraynak, Pittsburgh, PA
