No. 928
|
928 is a 4-8-2 Mountain type oil burning locomotive. Its origins go back to the mid 1980's, when a former member built the frame of the locomotive. He later sold the blueprints and frame to the WF&P in the early 2000's, and work continued on constructing the engine. In the summer of 2006, 928 made its first appearance under steam on Members day. It is the railroads only "in-house" built steam engine, completed 99 years after our oldest engine, No. 171. This engine is the railroads most powerful locomotive on the roster having pulled every piece of rolling stock at once! The number 928 signifies the birthday of one of our late founding members, Fred Kiesel.
