Everett Railroad No. 11 is a 2-6-0 "Mogul"-type steam locomotive. It was built by ALCO in 1920 for export to Cuba, but it remained in the United States, being sold to the Narragansett Pier Railroad in 1923. It was later sold again to the Bath and Hammondsport Railroad, where it operated until 1949. It was subsequently sold to the Rail City museum in New York, and it hauled tourist excursion trains for them, until the museum's closure in 1972.

In 1977, No. 11 returned to the Narragansett Pier Railroad and was partially restored, and then it was sold to the Middletown and New Jersey Railroad, where it was stored indoors. In 2006, No. 11 was purchased by the Everett Railroad, who sent it to the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad's shops for a complete restoration. In 2015, the restoration was completed, and No. 11 began hauling tourist trains for the Everett Railroad. In 2022, the locomotive was converted from coal to oil firing.
