She's a Porter 0-6-0T, similar to the one in operation down at Kempton, PA. This particular one is now owned by the Friends of the Valley Railroad and was recently moved from Northeastern Massachusetts to the Essex Yard. The current plan is to restore her to display condition as a replacement for the 2-6-2 Locomotive #103. According to J. David Conrad's "Enginehouse Blog", the 103 is owned by the Railroad Museum of New England and apparently will be leaving Essex sometime in the near future.
