| H.K. Porter Company built this little o-6-0 ST ( saddle tank) steam loco in 1930 originally for the Safe harbor Water Power Company as their #65. In 1941, the locomotive was reconditioned by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Then for a period during World War II, #65 was used as a stationary boiler to provide steam to the Safe Harbor powerhouse. In 1970, it was donated to the Wanaker, Kempton & Southern Inc. where it worked hauling tourist trains.Today the locomotive is still at the Wanamaker, Kempton and Southern Railroad but it's right now undergoing an overhaul.
