#19 is currently down for its 15 year rebuild. The group hopes to have it operational by next Fall, but thinks early 2012 may be more realistic.

The "Alco-Schenectady Construction Number List" indicates that Construction Numbers 61980 and 61981, Road Numbers 101 and 102, were shipped to the "Sumpter Valley Railway" during July of 1920. Both units were 2-8-2's and had a "Specified" total weight of 127,000 pounds (This is not necessarily the "Actual" total weight). This unit (#19) should have originally been #102 (Not #100).
