500 Series Pacific's scrapping

[NW Mailing List]

  What does Bixby's data or any other source say about when and/or where E2b Pacific # 547 was scrapped?

  Thanks

    According to my father's notes, 563 was retired 12-58. I have no other information, so don't know where the scrapper was; but most engines that went west ended up at Friedmans Scrap Yard in Portsmouth. Why one would go west through Batavia is a mystery. BTW: 563 and 578 were the last ones (by a long shot).

    Between 1958-60 how many N&W pacifics would have been left to scrap.
    We have a movie clip of one coming through Batavia headed west, presumably to scrap.
    However, 578 went to Columbus.  As I recall back in 1957 we rode that trip from Bluefield with
    563 and 578, so I was wondering if those were the last two and perhaps the one we saw was 563?
    Does anyone know where these pacifics were in fact scrapped, and did 578 travel on the Peavine(unlikely)?
