Worcester County Electric Co. 0-4-0T No. 1Posted by: Huck on Jan 19, 2023 @ 17:01:48
I was at a convention in oaks recently, and I stumbled upon this loco. It looks as if it has been moved since the photo. All labeling has faded away, and it has seen some graffiti. When I was there, it was located on the side of a road on abandoned rails near a bridge over the Schuylkill. Put there along with some diesel shunters. Down the road from the old oaks station and near the convention center. Not sure of ownership. Hopefully this info is helpful.
