My 3

a Southern Rwy PS-4 pacific
Nickle Plate Hudson
The last version of the New York Central Hudson, the light UP challenger( only the heavy version has survived), old Maude the first big 0-6-6-0 articulated steamer, The Seagulls (Edward from the Railway series), and the Ghost the first engine built in the UK to run on subways lines.
Southern Ry Ms-4...Heavy Mikado.
Southern Ry 4-6-0..Tenwheeler.
Southern Ry Ls-2....Mallet 2-8-8-2.
Old Maude was an 0-6-6-0...the first Mallet in the US. As for the Hudson info posted by "Hudson", That lines up nearly to the nickel to what I've heard....talk about infamy! Same short-sighted (or worse) #@$%^*& ! stuff still goes on today, thanks to the lack of commitment, and above all - communication !
Reading Crusader
PRR GG-1(operational, not a static museum piece)
Reading Crusader Hurray!

Ohhh ..to bad you lose !
Disqualified for lack of steam.
(heat don't count )
What?....
Do you really think I wanted to leave a moving GG1 off the top of that list?
If I could yurn back time, I would go back to July 1, 1989 as the center gun on the Mighty Mo!

Overland Flyer's Corliss machine brings to mind that 3 Corliss steam engines have been preserved at the Old Threshers Reunion facilities in Mt. Pleasant, IA. They functioned for long periods of time as municipal water pumps. As I recall, the big flywheels made them semi-perpetual motion machines, perfect for constant demand utility work.

#1 has does live here (well, a B4 anyways).....
Personally, I wish they saved a couple more PRR K4's so we could actually see one running today!
Nice looking locomotive. Thanks for posting that. I was not aware of it.

Hmmn...
1) Western Maryland I-2 2-10-0.
2) Chesapeake & Ohio T-1 2-10-4.
3) Reading G-3 4-6-2.
WM M2 4-6-6-4 1204
WM K2 4-6-2 208
WM I2 2-10-0 1111
Anything from the DL&W, as there is just one little steam engine left, to my knowledge - at Steamtown the last I knew.
N&W K2a Cab#137
N&W Y6b Cab#2200
N&W S1a Cab#244
This really isn't a fair question. If you asked for "30", great locomotives would still be left off the list. I only picked these three because they were the final of each class and none of their class survived. (Yes, I know about the 2156 Y6a, but it ain't a "b")
