Remarks & Notes 
The core of Everett Railroad Company #11, a 2-6-0 built by Alco, sits in the shop at the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. Built in 1920 and intended for use in Cuba, after sugar markets unexpectedly went down the engine remained unwanted until sold to the Narragansett Pier Railroad in 1923. The engine was replaced in 1937 and sold to another short line, the Bath and Hammondsport Railroad, nicknamed "The Champagne Trail" after the wine producers in its area.

In 1949 the engine was retired and stored, finally to be sold in 1955 to a museum in Sand Pond, NY, where it operated for a few years. It then passed through several owners, none of whom operated the engine, before the Everett Railroad purchased it in 2006. It is now at the WMSR being restored. The cab and tender are nearby on the WMSR property. Details taken from a more complete history on the Everett website: http://www.everettrailroad.com/railfans/11.aspx

The engine was seen during a shop tour conducted as part of the WMSR 25th Anniversary celebration. For other shots from the Anniversary weekend, go here.
