Can someone out there give me details on that #5000 locomotive ? I don't recall seeing it listed on the old NYCSubways.org website ( miss that website ) but I would like some details about it - was it allowed on the Myrtle Ave. elevated ? Was it preserved ? Thanks in advance.
I'll have to correct myself on #5000, which was not a locomotive, but a pump car. #5003 should be the locomotive.

#5000 was preserved and I believe was in the collection of Railway Preservation. if not possibly the NYTM or the Trolley Museum of NY.
I haven't heard of it being scrapped and don't know where it's whereabouts.
