Built by Baldwin in 1918, No. 4500 was the very first USRA standard 2-8-2 locomotive ever built, and it operated on the B&O's Ohio Division mainly hauling freight until it was retired from service in 1958, but not before being renumbered to 300 in order to make way for four-digit numbered diesel locomotives. In 1960, the locomotive was donated ...

The new railroad intended to use diesel power instead, and only one of the six (#3127) was ever lettered for the WA&G. However, the first diesels purchased, a pair of Whitcomb 75-tonners, proved inadequate for the grades on the Wellsville line, and so the steamers were pressed into service briefly at the opening of the line, only to be scrapped ...
