Did any CNJ RS-3s survive to museums or shortline duty? Curious...

The Anthracite RR's H.S. bought the 1554 from Hawk Mountain around 1995. She's in Scranton on the DL now, to be restored to operation.

CNJ 1548 exists in modified form in Northampton, PA as an RS3m on the NDC line.

Until a few years ago, CNJ 1546 existed in Canada, again as an RS3m.

I believe there is some confusion re: 1546 and 1548. 1548 was in south Jersey, and went to Canada. My understanding is that it has since been scrapped. 1546 may be at NDC; I know they had one of them.
