Hol - There's been some speculation as to what year the Q started selling
scrap locomotives to NWS&W. There may be a clue in this attached
NWS&W Photography Permit issued to my Dad on September 21, 1968.
I was on leave from the Navy and Dad drove me to Sterling to see and
photograph the GTW 0-8-0's switching the steel mill at the time. The Permit
shows a Class R-5 2-6-2 type minus stack that I'm pretty sure from
enlarging the image is No. 2096. If indeed the 2096, the
Corbin book states it was sold for scrap in August 1950. The only
image we've seen so far that might be "earlier" is the one you have of Class G-9
No. 1842 believed, but not absolutely proved, to have been taken at NWS&W in
1948. Best Regards - Louis
