Diesel Electric Locomotive No. 52 was built by the Vulcan Iron Works in Wilkes-Berry Pennsylvania in 1953.
It is a 65ton center cab diesel electric locomotive built for Pennsylvania Power and Light in 1953 as their number 3347.
Last in service at PP&L at their Martins Creek, PA location, the locomotive became surplus to them after that plant was converted from coal to natural gas.

No. 52 is somewhat rare as locomotives go, since the Vulcan Iron Works only constructed 54 diesel locomotives over 25tons.
It was purchased by the Williams Grove Historical Steam Engine Association in December of 2010.
