Whippany Railroad Museum,
Morristown and Erie RS1 21

No. 21 was built December 1954 for the Minneapolis, Saint Paul & Sault Saint Marie Railway (commonly known as The Soo Line), as their No. 350.

No. 350 was sold in 1975 for scrap, but was re-sold in 1977 to the Virginia & Maryland Railroad (V&M) as that roads #1.

The unit was transferred to sister road "Maryland & Delaware Railroad Company" (M&D) and became the #21.

In 1989 No. 21 was leased to the Massachusetts Central Railroad.

Sold again, for several years she was stored on the Southern Railroad of New Jersey (SRNJ) at Winslow Junction, NJ.

In 2001 the Morristown & Erie Railway purchased No. 21 and it was stored at both Whippany and Morristown, NJ. In 2004, Morristown and Erie personnel got the 50-year old Alco running again. It was used in switching duties along the M&E's Whippany Line throughout 2004.
