Retired switcher (1/1)

Indeed that is an ex-PRR switcher, class B6sa.  That class did not have the usual Belpaire boiler found on most Pennsy steam power.  This locomotive's road number was 60, it was completed in June of 1913 and was retired in September of 1952.  It was sold to the Cemline Corporation in Harmarville, PA at that time.

Sad looking beast, indeed.  Good catch Bob.  I hadn't noticed the lack of a Belpaire boiler.  Guess I automatically assumed it had one before studying the photo closer.

Agree.  I initially thought it was a B28 due to the shape of the steam dome (flat top) and couldn't tell if it had one or two sand domes (obviously gone now).  Was curious and checked Wiki and only two B6 shifters remain, this one and a B6sb in the PRR museum.  Looks like this one may not last much longer.
