"3043castingnumbers.jpg" - image/jpeg, 558x486 (24bit)

Hi,

I've uploaded some pics of the number plate I own. My uncle said it was
given to him by an Erie employee when 3043 was scrapped circa 1950. My
guess is that the loco may have been laid up in Suffern, NY on its way
to the scrapper, but I don't know where old Mikados went when they
passed on. The pics I have of this loco are a 1943 Don Furler photo of
it heading up Collins Curve in Waldwick (from "Erie Power") and a 1946
(?) Frank Watson photo of it in Avoca,PA (from "Erie Railrod In Color
Vol. 1) looking somewhat the worse for wear.

I have some feelers out and have received some info via the list, but if
anyone has any photo prints or negatives of 3043, please get in touch.

Schuyler provided these facts:

"3043 was built American Locomotive Works (ALCo) in their Schenectady NY works in November 1912. The
builder's number was 52221. It served the ERIE until its scrapping date of September 1950."

Where did you get that info, Schuyler?


Glen
