I'm still researching for any others that might still be out there...

Mississippian Railway Alco S-1 #321
Built 4/50- Builder #77080
Sold 4/67- has retained the same roster # thru her entire career! (Erie>EL>MSRW)
EL began to dispose of their S-1s in the mid to late '60s so they departed before the final economic crunch began to seriously defer maintenance. MSRW also had an S-1 #314 (stored OOS) which might be ex-EL 314 but uncertain. This was only listed in my Kalmbach Diesel Locomotive Rosters guide (3rd Ed. 1992) and have seen no other evidence of her existence or scrapping. Parts unit?
The Texas & Northern / Lone Star Steel purchased #306 and #312 but later sold them. Is there a way to trace them based on the builder #? Also, how does one locate units that were sold to industries?
