Remarks & Notes 
Originally built as a gas motor car for the 3-foot narrow gauge Lancaster, Oxford, & Southern RR, the Strasburg's No. 10 looks a bit out of place on standard gauge rails. The car was designed by Lawrence Kirk and Manufactured in his Sanders Machine Shop in Havre de Grace, MD in 1915. It was later sold to the Grasse River RR in Conifer, New York, and was purchased by Strasburg VP and long-time Lancaster Chapter NRHS member Winston Gottschalk in 1961. It languished at Strasburg until the mid-1970s, when it was shipped to and operated on the Wolfeboro RR in New Hampshire. Returned to Strasburg in 1978, it was rebuilt and operated at Lowell (MA) National Park from 1980 to 1984. Returned to Strasburg in November of 1984 to run on special occasions, it was converted to diesel in 2009 and is still running strong, over 100 years after its birth.
