Early 1954

Plans for the Everett Railroad to begin operations are approved. Two steam locomotives from the H&BTM, 2-8-0s #37 and #38 are considered as power, but are ultimately rejected. The new management settles on a surplus Conemaugh & Black Lick (C&BL) Whitcomb 65 Ton Center Cab, #56, which was stored at Johnstown, PA.
