C&S 6 still exists! sorta

There's really 5.0015 C&S locos still around!

C&S 6 lives on!  Sorta!  Kinda.

While reading Jason Midyette's book One Short Season, I was surprised by the discovery of those who worked on C&S 9 in 2005 to prepare it for its short stint on the Georgetown Loop, that its lead driver set apparently came from engine 6 (that was scrapped in 1939).

In the photo below you can see "ENG 6" on the inside of one of the wheels.
