United States Army 0-6-0 No. 4039

Posted by: Steve Hepler on Oct 3, 2024 @ 18:10:42
Posted: Jul 30, 2024 @ 15:07:23 by Matthew Gardner "Is not under restoration any longer. Was the victim of a lot of mismanagement due to too many contractors involved in the restoration, and many parts were lost. Including the original boiler, which needed to be replaced. It cannot even be made into a display piece at this time." In reply to the above quote... this is NOT true. While progress has been terribly slow, the restoration continues, and work on the new boiler is nearly complete. NO parts have been lost. Whoever wrote the above quote does not represent the Museum and has no first-hand info. Steve Hepler, Whippany Railway Museum

These two were built in the late 1840s-early 1850s by Seth Wilmarth and Co up in Massachusetts for service on the Cumberland Valley. The History channel did a segment on the two in the early 2000s, but I am not sure if it was ever released. I have obtained a DVD copy from the Long Beach Island (NJ) diving museum.

Lake Superior & Ishpeming RR 2-8-0 No. 23

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Oct 1, 2024 @ 10:10:47
The museum stated in a magazine article they are working to get this engine mechanically operational. So, you may change the status to Restoration. I heard this engine actually ran at this place long ago up until 1965 I believe.

Otto Chemical Co. 0-4-0T No. 370

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Oct 1, 2024 @ 10:10:33

Oklahoma Portland Cement Co. Shay - 2 truck No. 8

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Oct 1, 2024 @ 10:10:32
Am told it will never operate again, as it has a severe crack in the cylinder castings, and cannot pass FRA inspection. Too expensive for the museum to fix as well.
