0-6-0 steam locomotive #65, a 1930 Porter locomotive. Engine #65 was acquired from the Safe Harbor Water and Power Company of Columbia, Pennsylvania in 1972. Engine #65 is the last piece of equipment to have arrived at the WK&S by rail. Some track repair work was first required. Then #65 arrived while Engine #250 left. The track south of N. Albany was scrapped for good soon there after. Engine #65 is the locomotive you'll most likely see in action when you visit the WK&S.

0-6-0 steam locomotive #65 prepares to couple up to the train for the fist run of the day.

A close up of #65's drivers.

Here is #65 at Columbia, PA at the Pennsylvania RR main line (note catenary poles). Locomotive #65 is sitting on the interchange track for the Reading & Columbia branch of the Reading RR en route to Kempton. The day was snowy and miserable.

Arriving at down town Kempton. This is in front of the feed mill to the south the current WK&S yard complex. The Vulcan is on the Kempton passing track. #65 is on the main line. The passing track still connects the line through Kempton, but that section of main line no longer exists.

The pictures above and below show #65 soon after its arrival at the WK&S. Note the missing rods, removed for transport. Note the different headlight and the rotted wood pilot, which was replaced with steel. Whitcomb #20 is in charge of the move.
