Back in the 60's RTY (Rockhill, PA) owned a Mack loco. I remember it was used to move EBT hoppers around the Mt. Union yard. (The EBT had sold a few cars to WP&Y.) Does anyone know what became of it?

It was transferred to anther museum (the name eludes me) that also had a Mack locomotive of the same type. Only the carbody was transferred, RTM retained the trucks and wheel sets for some reason. The idea was that it would be a parts supply for the other unit, but I don't think either is running now.

Actually, earlier today I was looking at the below website, a different portion of which was linked to in a separate RyPN thread. I believe the museum in question is the WK&S:

Does anyone know where the trucks from WK&S 35 went? They look like Taylors similar to the ones now under Shelburne Falls & Colrain #10, but that's just a wild guess.

I believe the Duluth museum has a 4 wheel Mack switcher.

I recall seeing two locomotive bodies that I believe were Mack. These were a heritage line in Pennsylvania -- I don't recall the name. It was during a pre-convention trip when the ARM convention at Strasburg a few years ago.
