About

 * 1) 3028 was built by the American Locomotive Company in 1946 for the National Railways of Mexico, and ran until it was decommissioned in 1966. In the same year, The Great North Eastern Railroad Foundation, now defunct, bought and moved her to Colonie, New York. On January 1995 she was leased and moved to the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad of New Hope, Pa where restoration work started in April 1995. Original estimates stated the project would last about 6 months, at a cost of $500,000. Officially since 2010, restoration work has been put to a halt on the engine and it is unknown if it will continue. Ownership of this locomotive is listed as ALCO Historical and Technical Society.
