WKS 0-6-0ST #65 - Wanaker, Kempton & Southern
Title:  WKS 0-6-0ST #65 - Wanaker, Kempton & Southern
Description:  H.K. Porter Company built this little o-6-0 ST ( saddle tank) steam loco in 1930 originally for the Safe harbor Water Power Company as their #65. In 1941, the locomotive was reconditioned by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Then for a period during World War II, #65 was used as a stationary boiler to provide steam to the Safe Harbor powerhouse. In 1970, it was donated to the Wanaker, Kempton & Southern Inc. where it worked hauling tourist trains.Today the locomotive is still at the Wanamaker, Kempton and Southern Railroad but it's right now undergoing an overhaul. This image comes from a color slide taken by rail fan Jim Lockart.

ex-Gulf Oil no. 7, soon to be Lehigh & New England no. 602
Title:  ex-Gulf Oil no. 7, soon to be Lehigh & New England no. 602
Description:  Originally built as a 65-ton switcher for the US Army in July 1944, this loco was modified into a 75-tonner while it worked for Gulf Oil. Here it is shortly after it was aquired for preservation with an Anthracite Railroads Historical Society reporting mark. The date of 11/14/1988 on the slide appears to be inaccurate compared to other photos of WKS 602, so the listed date is approximate. Hans Kuring photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.
