| The Stettin nameplate is a remnant of the city where this little industrial switcher worked while in Europe. Stettin was the German name for the past and present-day city of Szczecin, Poland. This little Henschel was operating there during the WWII German occupation of Poland; hence the German name for the city on the nameplate. Szczecin is a major Baltic seaport located in northwest Poland near the border with Germany. The locomotive was purchased (via a classified ad in TRAINS magazine) and brought to Boothbay Railway Village in the 1960’s. |
