Does that say Wilmington & Western? There's an observatory I go to in Deleware and that scenic route goes through that area. Although I haven't been down there in a while, it must have finally re-opened. The route had major damage done to it in the floods of '03 and '05, so they weren't running for a while. Here's the link:

The observatory is at Mt. Cuba, the picnic area shown is down the mountain.

Wilmington & Western No. 98 was Mississippi Central No. 98 and was on the roster until the line was Dieselized. I notice it no longer has its second bell.
