This engine is a 1950 Whitcomb Locomotive Company 25 tonner that was originally built to a 30" gauge. The locomotive bounced around the Canadian manufacture system, serving mostly creosote manufacturers until Edaville RR purchased it in 1998 and regauged it to 24" during their restoration. The Maine Narrow Gauge RR has it on loan.
