East Branch and Lincoln Porter locomotive

On May 20, 2015, a joint effort by Hobo Railroad and White Mountain Central Railroad forces resulted in former East Branch & Lincoln Porter locomotive #3 being relocated to a new logging railroad interpretive display adjacent to the entrance of Loon Mountain in Lincoln, NH. The locomotive, originally purchased by the Watertown Arsenal, along with two former EB&L log bunks, were resituated as part of a bridge construction project which consumed the real estate occupied by the original display track created during the 1960's. Spanning the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River, the new bridge was necessitated due to damaged inflicted by Hurricane Irene during the summer of 2011.

This engine lacked an ICC cab card. Nevertheless, during the flood in 1953 it went as far south as Beebe River with Fox trucked flat cars made into gondolas as well as hopper cars, all filled with coal cinders from the paper mill in Lincoln, to replace washout on the B&M branch line.
