When my son-in-law use to work for WED in Burbank, Calif. back in the 1980's or so, he noticed that the chassis for U de Y 52 was still stored in the back-lot, minus it's boiler. It may or may not still be there.
For the people that don't know, WED is the engineering and planning office for Disneyland
(WED coming from the initials from Walter E. Disney.)
#52 was indeed built by Pittsburgh, not by Rogers.
I photographed it many times back in the 1930's when it was still in operation.
