I'm a little behind on this one, but I came across this post on Facebook from back in June that shows photos of the last two Hulett Ore Unloaders being scrapped at Whiskey Island in Cleveland. Cut up alongside were two 3'6"-gauge electric car pushers. The remains can be seen above, with one still relatively intact but the other reduced to pieces. I'm assuming both are long gone at this point. One, Pennsylvania Railroad 2, was on the PNAERC roster and has been removed. The other, which I believe may have been PRR 4, was never on the roster. As luck would have it, I never happened upon a fleet number for it until just now, when I was proceeding to remove it from my list!
Anyway, several other locomotives from Whiskey Island did escape into preservation. PRR 1 just left in May, escaping before the torches were lit, while PRR 3 escaped years ago and is now preserved near Youngstown. PRR 7 is also preserved in North East, PA.
