The Ward Kimball is a Davenport tank loco that was converted into a 2-4-4T. It had been in the Norred collection, was swapped to Disney for the original passenger train(reffered to by employee's as "Retlaw 1"). It was rebuilt and operated in Florida at WDW. It didn't meet expectations and thus the trade to Cedar Point. The Maud L and the Fred Gurley are nearly indentical, which I believe was the deciding factor in the trade.
