Knowing that only 2 K-37s don't exist today, I did some research. 490 was "canabilized" and was later scraped. After looking up 496, I found out 496 was scrapped in January 1955, but didn't give any details.
I was wondering...
"Why was 496 scrapped?"
I will be grateful of any information to fill this void in my knowledge of the D&RGW.
Thank you
