Note A - #18 sold in April 2018 to the Illinois Railway Museum-it's currently undergoing
restoration to operating condition and to become TP&W 800 again.
Note B - #19 Sold to the Tri-State Railway Historical Society in April 2017, and is stored in operating condition in Boonton, NJ. Tri-State and the URHS -the other tenant at Boonton Yard - use it as their heavy switcher, as it's currently their most powerful fully operational locomotive. General Notes: ** Morristown & Erie and Maine Eastern locomotives are owned by RRPX; thus motive power is assigned/leased as required. Several other Alco units were acquired but never operated on the M&E; they may have been a parts source. (?):
