Hi Jace. There was a 6-page cover article on this class of loco in the April 2010 Railfan & Railroad. Amazingly, 7 of the original order of 25 are still in existence 101 years later. Two are still running...the rest are in varying states of preservation or decay. The crown jewel is number 89 at Strasburg. Jim

I believe there are as many as four or five of the prototype still in existence.
