I would like to point out to any interested: that "another RR's locomotive looking out of place on a freelance shortline" thing, is actually not entirely correct. Granted, they were re-lettered, but the Kish Valley RR here in Mifflin/Juniata county I think owned to ex-PRR class-D16s 4-4-0s. They were bought second-hand when the PRR was upgrading its steamer fleet. They were just cleaned up a bit, then re-lettered and re-numbered for the KV.
The KV only ever purchased no more than two locos brand new. The others were second-hand from numerous other lines.
