Strasburg Book by Arcadia Press
Posted by Al Baum on Saturday, June 17, 2017 6:32 AM

Have just read the fairly new book by Arcadia re:  Strasburg RR.  There is no mention of engine #98 that I could find.  I have a photo taken in 1962 of a 4-4-0 which I believe was on static display showing #98.  Does anyone have any info on this engine?

98 was on display at Strasburg Rail Road for several years in the early 1960's. It is now at the Wilmington & Western RR. A brief history of the engine can be found on the W&W website:

Go to "About the Railroad" then "Equipment" then "Steam Locomotives"
