Also Safe Harbor. Is this the Strasburg shop engine today? Photo, June 19, 1933.http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?f ... 4/sh7G.jpg

Never say "never", but I doubt it.Note that the photo caption says "US Safe Harbor". I've never heard of the Pennsylvania Power & Light (PP&L) plant at Safe Harbor, Pa. being referred to as "US Safe Harbor". Furthermore, there would have been no need for PP&L to have more than one Plymouth at that plant, and from other PP&L plants I've seen they didn't number locos in a systemwide-fashion, but only for in-plant use. I know that when the Strasburg Plymouth #2 arrived at Strasburg, it was in a blank, numberless green dip paint job.

That out of focus bridge in the far right background is almost certainly the low grade bridge at Safe Harbor.

According to information compiled by Kurt Bell, Plymouth #2 was built in 1930 for the Safe Water and Power Corp. as E-126. It was acquired by Strasburg in 1984.
