Here’s Something That You Guys Should Have Seen This One Coming Up This One Right Here From New Hope Pennsylvania And His Name Is Alexander Or Alex For Short

Alex Aka 40 Was Built In 1925 By The Baldwin Locomotive Works In Philadelphia Pennsylvania For Lancaster And Chester Railroad In Lancaster, South Carolina Classified As 2-8-0 Consolidation Type Locomotive And The Smallest Of Them All He Had Glasses And Purple Hair Like Shouta From Miss kobayashi's dragon maid But Anyways He Was Used For Mix Traffic Freight Trains From Lancaster South Carolina And In Pennsylvania Afterwards He was brought by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., where the Southern Railway picked it up and hauled it to the L&C's interchange in Catawba, South Carolina. The locomotive arrived at L&C on December 5. Being one of the railroad's largest engines, He was immediately put on the main train from Kershaw to Catawba, via Lancaster. On December 15, Alex was involved in a wreck near Pleasant Hill, South Carolina. The wreck was the fault of the engineer. L&C crews were instructed to use the independent breaks to slow down the train instead of the automatic. The pressure locked drivers at 45mph, causing the No. 3 driver tire on the fireman's side to pop off and derail the locomotive. Little is known about this wreck as no photos of the wreck have been surfaced, but it is reported that Alex took out approximately 500' of L&C's mainline. This wreck destroying the locomotive's original wooden pilot. The wreck resulted in the railroad not being able to haul product for 3 months. The Lancaster and Chester sued Baldwin Locomotive Works, resulting in an undisclosed settlement that in turn paid for the purchase of Lancaster & Chester No. 41 from the American Locomotive Company. So It’s Not As Tragic As Lincoln Loud After He Got Involved In An Accident On The Royal Woods And Michigan Railroad In 1947 But Anyways Alex was repaired and rebuilt by the railroad and re-entered service in Spring 1926. After the wreck, Alex was designated as a switcher for the various yards across the railroads. In 1947, after L&C dieselized their entire roster, Alex was sold to the 3.7 mile long Cliffside Railroad, a short line in North Carolina. During His entire tenure on the Cliffside, the relatively diminutive 80-ton 2-8-0 was the largest locomotive the railroad owned Even Though He’s Very Small However, the locomotive was not used much as it was often overpowered for the small switching jobs and sharp track. In 1962, the Cliffside Railroad sold Alex to Steam Trains Inc., located in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Alex was the first piece of equipment purchased by the group, in hoping to find a branch line to run it on. Alex was initially moved Reading Company's yard in Wilmington, Delaware, before being moved to the Reading Company shops in St. Clair, PA with the rest of Steam Trains Inc.'s equipment. In 1966, Steam Trains Inc. was reorganized as the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad and moved all of its equipment, including Alex to the former Reading Company yard in New Hope, PA. Even though He was operational at the time, He only saw limited service in the summer of 1967 as stablemate 1533 was reportedly easier to run and fire and was more popular with engine crews. The locomotive also reportedly swayed from side to side even on straight track. This was would later be discovered due to an improper repair by the L&C of the third driver (and also a potential reason why Cliffside did not use the locomotive often). This would be corrected upon in the 1975 rebuild. From 1974-1975, Alex was rebuilt by the New Hope & Ivyland's new owners, the McHugh Brothers and returned to service. In the late 1970s in addition to Alex being taken out of service for repairs, the New Hope and Ivyland's passenger operations were handed over to the newly formed New Hope Steam Railway. From 1981 to 1986, Alex shared excursion responsibilities with smaller steamer during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and would operate both on and off home rails. One of its offline adventures took place in 1985 when it ventured down to the Fairless Works of U.S. Steel in nearby Morrisville, PA. This journey was part of a weekend-long open house for plant employees and their families. Alex pulled the majority of their trains until the group's leadership changed in late 1986. In 1990, the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad, now New Hope Railroad, came under new ownership and Alex was rebuilt to operational condition by shop forces from the Strasburg Railroad, returning to operation in June 1991. Alex is dedicated to special excursions throughout the year such as The Buckingham Valley trains, Fall Foliage, and the Santa's Steam Train in December. And Yes Ofelia Vella ( ’s OC Mentioned) Aka Chesapeake & Ohio 614 Moved To New Hope Pennsylvania For A Rebuilt Back In 1994 And Kept Alex Company. On May 18, 2019, Alex powered four excursions over the SEPTA main line in Montgomery County between North Wales and Gwynedd Valley, PA as part of North Wales Borough’s Sesquicentennial celebrations. This would be the locomotive's first trip on the mainline since 1985. Today The Locomotive Is Still Operational And Kudos To All People That Ross Rowland Wasn’t The Only Man Who Drove Ofelia Because Back In December 2010 He Drove Alex So Cool Beans.
