Porter #1

Porter Locomotive #1, is a narrow gauge steam locomotive that ran in the mine areas of Arizona.
The locomotive is mounted to the trailer it is sitting on and has a set of rollers under its wheels.
This allows for the locomotive to operate on the trailer.
Before it was donated to the Railroad Museum of Long Island, the #1 was shown off and operated in parades and special events in the Hamptons. She will need a boiler inspection, as well as some boiler work to operate again.
Riverhead, NY
