Any surviving Lehigh Valley Class R-1's (2-10-2)

[rbomier]

Does anyone know of any of the Lehigh Valley 2-10-2's (R-1) class that are in a museum. Hocking Valley purchased a number of these from the LV in the 20's Many of these went on to the C&O with a few going to the LS&I in the 30's.  The C&O's were put in the B-1 class. I think most were scrapped in late 40's and early 50's but I was wondering if any of this class of 2-10-2 has survived on display somewhere?

Go to this site;  steamlocomotive.com

I took a quick look and didn't see that there are any LV 2-10-2 survivers.

I wish there were any left, but the Valley had to scrap all of them to pay for their diesels and debt service on other post war expenses. I feel worst about the fact that none of their best looking and most modern steam, the T2 Wyomings were saved. Better (or worse depending on how one looks at it) yet none of the T3s built for passenger trains that never grew large enough to justify them are around, either.

Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately I don't think there are ANY Lehigh Valley steamers that survived the scrappers torch.

I have to agree with Jim.  I know of no surviving LV steam locomotives.

(and yes..I know someone will want to say "well if it was unknown, you wouldnt know about it! ;)  but that doesnt apply in the case of LV steamers..it is KNOWN, period, that there are no LV steam survivors...surviving steam locomotives are well documented..there are no mystery locos lurking out there waiting to be discovered..)
