Baldwin-Westinghouse Class S scrapped

It has been confirmed that one of two Baldwin-Westinghouse Class S steeplecabs, and the last interurban-style steeplecab built by the company, has been scrapped. The locomotive was Delaware River Port Authority (PATCO) 404, shown above in a 2015 photo from this link. It was built by B-W in 1937 as Niagara Junction 9, running in Niagara Falls until 1974 when it was sold to PATCO for use in hauling work trains. In 2001 it was repainted in traditional Delaware River Joint Commission blue and silver and hauled a pair of bridge cars, 1008 and 1015, in a celebration of the 75th anniversary of the construction of the Ben Franklin Bridge. It appears to have seen little use since.

The other Class S built, Cornwall 17 (originally Salt Lake & Utah 106, then Grand River Railway 230), which was built in 1930, is still in existence and plinthed in Cornwall. It's not clear whether the two bridge cars that were until recently on PATCO property have been scrapped or whether they're still stored at Lindenwold Yard.
