PRESERVED RHODE ISLAND LOCOMOTIVES The following locomotives (in serial number order) built by Rhode Island before the ALCO merger have been preserved.1 All locations are in the United States unless otherwise noted. A Rhode Island-built 4-6-0 locomotive was reported to have been quite literally unearthed in Australia circa 2000. According to the report, it was buried as fill for a new bridge abutment during World War II. The report at the time stated that because of the dry local conditions, it was still in very good shape. It was also stated that an attempt would be made to preserve it. No further info on the present fate of this engine is available. REFERENCES |
