Most of Western Maryland’s RS3’s were retired by 1976, but four were leased by the Gettysburg Railroad when it was formed to operate the line from Gettysburg to Mount Holly Springs, Pennsylvania. After the new short line acquired its own power, the four Alcos were returned, and placed in storage at the B&O shops in Cumberland, Maryland, as seen here. This particular unit escaped the torch when it was donated to the B&O Museum in 1979.
