"EBT has 6 ng mikes and two sg 0-6-0s left. When were they last used (before the shut down in April, 1956) and where are they now (for the switchers)? Which ones are currently operable?"
The following is a summary. I can likely be more specific if this is more than an academic question.
12
Out of use by late 40's. Restored 1960. Run regularly in 1960's and 70's. Reserve engine in 1980's and 90's. Taken out of service 2000. Out of service, awaiting boiler and mechanical work.
14
Run into '49 at least. Likely in service until late 1954. Restored to service in the early 1960's. Out of service in the mid 80's. Overhauled 1987. Operational, primary locomotive.
15
Run into November 1954 at least. Restored to serice in 1960. Operated reagularly until 2002, when taken down for overhaul. To be operational in 2003, primary locomotive.
16
Secondary engine toward the end of sevice. Taken out of service due to cutbacks in trains. Appears to have run into late March 1956. Stored intact but out of serice. A few parts removed for #17.
17
Last mainline train, April 6, 1956. Restored to service in the mid to late 1960's. Run sparingly since (due to weight). Out of service since 2001. Out of service awaiting boiler work.
18
Main engine toward the end of sevice. Taken out of service due to breakdown and replaced with #17 for last runs. Ran until at least November 1954. Reportedly has cracked piston valve. Stored intact but out of serice. A few parts removed for #17.
3
Last engine to operate during common carrier sercice, April 13, 1956. Placed in storage in Mount Union and not moved since. Some water damage after a leaky roof in the 1980's. Many parts removed, most stored in Rockhill for safekeeping.
Out of service but restorable.
6
Secondary swithcer in Mount Union. Likely last run in 1954, whenever #3 got its last overhaul. Placed in storage in Mount Union. Sold 1975 to Whitewater Valley in IN. Operated until about 1980 ant taken out of service for abortive overhaul. Stored stripped down. Out of service, restorable for display only.
