It was scrapped, of course. Any idea where, when? The Chicago RR Fair of 1948/49 maybe?

Hi, Bob:
From what I've read, the Erie had very little involvement with the 1948-49 fair, and the diamond on the tender would be considered old-fashioned (even for the Erie) by that date. My guess would be the Century of Progress fair in Chicago, in 1933. That Art Deco backdrop would also be outdated by the late 40's.
