SW-1 #114
Locomotive No. 114 was built in 1940 by the Electro-Motive Corporation (EMC) of General Motors for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. After many years on the LV, it was sold to the Maryland Port Authority and worked as a dock switcher for a number of years in Pocomoke City. In 1974, No. 114 was moved to the Ocean City Western Railroad in Ocean City, MD, where it worked briefly in tourist service, until the railroad closed in the late 1970s. In the early 1980s, the Wilmington & Western went looking for another diesel locomotive and found the 114 in storage on a siding in Snow Hill, MD. Funds were not available at the time to purchase the locomotive, but two Wilmington & Western volunteers, Skip Small and Joe Giacchino, offered to purchase No. 114 and lease it to the railroad. An agreement was made and No. 114 was moved to Marshallton where volunteers began a long restoration, which included the installation of a new cab floor and windows, extensive body work, retrucking of the locomotive, and a complete overhaul of the auxiliary generator and electrical cabinet. In the spring of 1992, the HRCV Board of Directors approved a plan to officially acquire No. 114 in trade for diesel locomotive No. 3, an ALCO S-2. No. 114 entered revenue passenger service on Sunday, September 26, 1993 and has worked in both passenger and freight service ever since. The 114 produces 600 horsepower and has a fuel tank capacity of 600 gallons.

SW-1 #8408
Engine 8408 was built in 1940 by the Electro-Motive Corporation (EMC) of General Motors and served the Baltimore & Ohio in freight service on the Landenberg Branch until 1982. It was purchased by the Wilmington & Western in 1982 for freight and passenger service. The 8408 produces 600 horsepower and has a fuel tank capacity of 600 gallons. She is our only locomotive to have served her entire life on the rails of the Red Clay Valley.

"THE PAUL REVERE" DOODLEBUG #4662
Railcar 4662 was built by Pullman Standard and outshopped on April 29, 1929 and classified GEG-350. Self-propelled cars such as this were usually referred to as "Doodlebugs" by railroaders. Originally powered by two Winton 175hp gasoline engines, 4662 was rebuilt in 1943 with two Cummins HBIS-6 175hp diesel engines and reclassified OEG-350. She was retired from commuter service in April of 1959. Historic Red Clay Valley, Incorporated purchased the car in March of 1967 and brought her back in service in March 1980. The 4662 features a modern bathroom, a 110-volt electrical system for air-conditioning or heating, a seating capacity of 60 passengers and a small baggage area. "The Paul Revere" is assigned to our Tuesday night "Ride-To-Dine" dinner trains and is also perfect for small charters.
