The beautiful #6 burned up in an engine house fire and was lost in 1931, but it's too bad that one of the SR&RL Prairies didn't survive. They were used in scrapping that railroad and lasted right up until the bitter end. Unfortunately, it never occurred to anyone that 80 years hence, someone might see value in those old horses....even as a static display.
