United States Army 4039 is a preserved 0-6-0 "Switcher" type steam locomotive. Built in Novel 1942 for the U.S. Army, it was retired in 1963 and set aside for preservation. Sold to the Morris County Central Railroad in 1965, it hauled excursions until 1980 when her flue time expired. Sitting in storage for nearly 14 years, she was bought by the Whippany Railway Museum in 1994 to cosmetically restore the engine. In 2015, the museum officials expressed interests for restoring the engine to working order for use on local railroads. As of 2025, the engine is currently being restored to operational condition.
