#58 has a long, diverse history. In regard to the W&W it has actually been on this railroad twice. After coming from the Valley Forge Scenic as #300 in the late 70's, it was retored to her original nunmber by it's then owners Brian & Linda Woodcock. The engine was to be returned to service then but never happend. In the late 1980's it was trasferred to the Octoraro Railway at Avondale and placed adjacent to the old Pomery & Newark Station with 4 ex-PRR MP54's  to accent the antique busines that was operated by the Woodcocks. Wanting to retire, the Woodcocks decided to find a home for the #58 and decided to donate the enigine and cars to the W&W with the stipulation that the engine be dedicated to the Amercan War Vetrans and today, 58 is officiall know as the "Vetrans Locomotive". Track crews of the W&W had to rebuild the switch at Avondale that had long been taken out to gain access 58 and the coaches. Once again #58 was back on W&W rails. It was restored over an 11 month period and went into service in 1998, about 6 months after 98 was taken out of service for a rebuild.

Side note: After their arrival, the MP54's were stored on the NVF siding in Yorklyn and I believe were put up for sale along with two other MP's.  With the 4 additions, the W&W owned 8 MP54's, 4 DL&W coaches, 1 DL&W combine and 3 caboose's - 2 B&O 1 ERIE. There is also a restored PRR caboose that is privately owned . The railroad has always had a large and intersting collection of equipment over the years for such a small organization.
