Sister 576, which the 573 later worked with on that line to finish out Wabash steam in 1955, here at Hamilton, Illinois, 2/5/36:

The 576 did not survive.

There are a couple more of the 2-6-0s plus some 0-6-0s on the 12/14/06 ABPR. Also try typing Wabash into the ABPR search engine, as there were more 0-6-0s in December 2006.
