Whitcomb #20 is a tiny gas-mechanical industrial locomotive. This locomotive was rarely used and then mostly just for track maintenance and yard switching. There was one exception, however, locomotive #20 and caboose #92936 were known to pinch-hit for the Berksy Trolley on those summer weekday runs back in the '70s. By the 1980s #20 faced irreconcilable mechanical problems and was sold off in the late 1990s. The pictures below depict #20 in the early or mid 90's before it left the WK&S.
