    Southern Railway 385 is a preserved class "H-4" 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive. Built in November 1907 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, originally for the Southern Railway's Richmond Division, she was transferred to the Virginia Blue Ridge Railway and renumbered to 6. In 1956, she was put on standby service before officially being retired in 1959. She was sold to the Morris County Central Railroad who restored it to working order. She moved for the first time in 7 years and was put to work hauling excursions along the railroad's right of way. However, the MCCR went bankrupt in October 1978, officially putting No. 385 out of service. She, and the assets of the Morris County Central, were bought to the Delaware Otsego Corporation, who tried to restore the engine back to operation, but this never came through as the engine was put into storage instead. After years in storage, she was donated to Bergen County Vocational & Technical High School in 1990. In October that same year, Joseph Supor Sr. donated the engine to Bergen Tech to put on display near the Hackensack River. By 1999, the "Stationary Steam Course" went bankrupt with reported preparations to scrap No. 385. Hearing this, Mr. Supor bought the engine at the last minute, trucking the engine to his facility in Harrison, New Jersey. She was eventually sold to the Whippany Railroad Museum.
