In 1994 a pair of New York City EL locomotives were uncovered in Garysburg, North Carolina. One of the locomotives was thought to be No. 119, a 440T Forney built in Rhode Island. What has become of the locomotives in Garysburg?

When K-Line was offering its 4-6-6T, I was wondering if any of those locos in commuter
service made it to logging roads and other applications, logging being the only one I'd have for the K-Line one....hope you get a response that tells you a little about what
these two commuter locos have been doing away from the big city.
This page gives a list of Forney design 0-4-4t locomotivesin various guages known to exist http://www.steamlocomotive.com/forney/
I noticed on that list of Forneys the "Emmitsburg" RR? is mentioned. I presume this is
Emmitsburg, MD.? People in the hobby shop in Blue Ridge Summit. Pa. just west of
there talked to me about a railroad that was not built?, that you can see the roadbed
for driving from Emmitsburg to Blue Ridge Summit. That is east/west while there is
an operating rail line through BRS running north/south. What is known about the
"Emmitsburg RR".
The four you are thinking of are possibly the ones in Alaska. On the tundra far from anything that were used in Road construction.
As an interesting aside there is a New York City horse led trolly car on display in original paint in the Adirondacks. At the muesum in Blue Mtn Lake.
