| The Lancaster, Oxford & Southern #10 was built by the Sanders Machine Shop in 1915 as a 3’ gauge 30 seat passenger/baggage vehicle. It featured a gas engine, chain drive & coal stove heat. The diminutive car was first used on the LO&S narrow gauge in Southern Lancaster County. It operated for two years as a narrow gauge motor car before being converted to standard gauge in 1918. After being sold to numerous owners, this motor car was later purchased from the Grasse River RR in 1962 by Winston Gottschalk, one of the 25 Vice Presidents that invested $450.00 to purchase the Strasburg Rail Road back in 1958. It was operated on the Wolfeboro RR in New Hampshire during the ‘70s then leased to Lowell National Park in Massachusetts where it worked from 1980-1984. SRC removed the Chrysler 440 powerplant & TourqueFlite transmission in 2009 & installed a bio-diesel powerplant. |
