It's funny how history likes to repeat itself. The boiler on the flat car to the right belongs to Huntingdon & Broad Top Mountain #38. 2-6-0 #11 on the left is actually no stranger to #38--they've met before.

Enter Dr. Stanley Groman. Dr. Groman was looking for a locomotive for use at his Rail City Museum in Sandy Pond, NY, and upon hearing of the H&BT's fate (and the availability of its equipment), he came down to Central Pennsylvania and bought the locomotive and the railroad's surviving rolling stock, saving it from the torch (#35 was lost).

The problem was that #38's wheelbase proved too long for the curvatures on his 1 mile loop track at Rail City. #38 was put on static display, and Dr. Groman went shopping again.

What he found was a little ALCo 2-6-0, #11 of the Bath & Hammondsport Railroad. Retired some years prior, the railroad had kept the engine indoors as an object of sentimental attachment. Dr. Groman negotiated the purchase of the engine and took it to Sandy Pond.

#38 and #11 parted ways in 1968. They met again nearly 45 years later, this time under the banner of the Everett Railroad.
