I have an old photo of an RS1 or RS2 in blue paint working the Agway in Lewisburg back around 1990. Looks to be number 58 ??? with WSTE ??? stenciled on the side.

I would like to label this photo. Does anyone have info?

Thanks, Dave

WSTE = West Shore Railroad. Their only locomotive was an SW1 8525.

An RS1 has kicked around PA for various roads and 58 could be a former Washington Terminal engine, but Google comes up blank on it being on the West Shore.

Lewisburg line was pulled up, but the former Reading has been repaired for service.

I believe there is an ex-Washington Terminal RS-1 # 59 down in Salem, NJ that is in blue paint. Could this be the same unit?

According to a Google search, Washington Terminal 58 was sold to Steiner Liff Co, which appears to be in Nashvile, in 1972.

Yes, #59 is in Salem.
