| Description: |
The sole power for the East Penn Railroad's Quakertown line lays over for the weekend near the former passenger and freight stations. Built new for Conrail in 1978 as number 1933, this unit became the power regularly assigned to the Track Geometry Train. Despite being under the ownership of Regional Rail LLC's East Penn Railroad since 2007, the locomotive still wears the reporting marks of predecessor East Penn Railway. |

Built in 1948, old number 57 also saw service on the New Hope & Ivyland, Black River & Western, and ESPN predecessor East Penn Railway. There is a possibility that it may move to another Pennsylvania shortline in the near future. |
