.....were two T-6 switchers built for Newburgh & South Shore, numbers 1016 & 1017, completed in Jan 1969. One is now on the Middletown & Hummelstown RR in PA.
The NYC C-430s certainly were the last NYC Alcos.

4 C430 on LA&L lines
1 RS-32 each on A&M and D-L
There was a good sized group of GP-40's that went to the C&NW and were re-sold to NREC? for GP-38 conversions.

The Railroad Of New England has a New York Central RS-3 on one of their sidings in Thomaston CT.
Not sure of the number if its 8909 or 8904.

RMNE's RS-3 mentioned above is NOT an NYC unit--- it is originally B&M 1508, built 1954, and swapped with D&H in 1974 for another RS-3. It became D&H 1508, later D&H 4075, then went to Steamtown in 1984. Sold to a private owner, it served at Western Maryland Scenic Rwy as "WM 199" until 1999. The owner moved it to Michigan to operate on a ex-NYC branch, and painted it into the pseudo-NYC "cigar band" it currently wears. Bought by RMNE in 2005, it will go back to being B&M 1508 again, sometime in 2007.
The only existing NYC RS-3s that I know about are the one at Adirondak, and the one in Kansas.

There's got to be a few of those still around.Speaking of switchers I can't believe that nobody has mentionned one of my favorite locomotives of all time: B&H #5. She's an Alco S-1 built as NYC #872 in March, 1950, and retained the same number briefly under PC. She then became Despatch Shops #5, until sent to GE(?) for disposition when the shops closed. Old #5 arrived on the B&H in August, 1970 and has been there ever since.
