Bob, The first photo in Will's email late yesterday shows the 1380 in a scrap line with the tender from 856 and most of the stainless removed from the locomotive. Don Yelverton

I can't recall where or when I saw this photo of 1380 albeit with a different than in service tender, but it was sitting in the scrap line in Alexandria in the Summer of 1953, out in the open in the
