SF 500
Title:  SF 500
Description:  Stored at the far end of the old DL&W yard is this EMD switcher wearing the colors of one of the old hometown railroads. Never a part of the Lackawanna's diesel fleet, the unit was acquired by the Wabash Railroad from EMD in 1953. Originally WAB 132, it would also work for the Norfolk & Western and Norfolk Southern. Acquired by the Steamtown Foundation in the 1980s as part of a trade with NS for former N&W 1218, the other locomotive in this trade being former NKP 514, it was given Lackawanna paint to fit in with the 1980s Steamtown theme for its operating fleet.
