Shown in the right side of this image is steam generator unit #500. This was constructed in 1955 from the tender portion of 4-6-4 locomotive #502 (built by Alco in 1929). This generator was sold in 1986 to the Green Mountain Railroad, Bellows Falls, Vermont. It was transferred to Steamtown in Scranton, PA, in 2002. Source: thbrailway.ca.
