Former Steam Locomotives of The Strasburg Railroad

  • 4-4-0 1223 1905 Juniata Pennsylvania Railroad 1965 - 1990

  • 4-4-2 7002 1902 Juniata Pennsylvania Railroad 1983 - 1990

  • 4-4-0 98 1909 ALCO Mississippi Central (never operated)

All 3 former steam locomotives were owned by outside individuals or companies.

Both 1223 and 7002 were leased for operation. 1223 was leased by the P.R.R. from 1965 to 1968, by the Penn Central from 1968 to 1979 and from the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania from 1979 to 1990. 7002 was leased from the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. Today, 1223 and 7002 are static displays in the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

Number 98 was owned by Thomas Marshall. It sat on the property from 1962 to 1964 as a static display. Originally, it was planned to be operated on the Strasburg Railroad, but Mr. Marshall moved it to Delaware to operate on his Wilmington and Western steam railroad. 98 is in operation today.

No. 89 was purchased from the Steamtown Foundation in 1972. Enroute to Strasburg that June, it was caught in Penn Central's Buttonwood, Pennsylvania, yard when the Susquehanna River flooded over the locomotive's stack, delaying its debut at Strasburg.

The Strasburg Railroad also has a collection of early internal combustion locomotives. All are in operation.

One of the highlights of the year at the Strasburg Rail Road is the Day out with Thomas The Tank Engine events, scheduled three times throughout the year. Children, young and old can take a ride pulled by a steam powered Thomas the tank engine.
