Alcos and EMDs |
Description: |
Adirondack has a very unique power mix, including an Alco RS3, an EMD switcher, and these 4 fine engines. *UPDATE* In 2015, the 1502 was repainted to match the 1835 & 1845. She looks great and is still running strong. |

Built in 1941, This unit was amazing, running yard shuttles all morning, then giving cab rides and running cab rides onto the north end of the line in the afternoon. Engineer Gary was a great cab partner and did a super job of demonstrating control operations and rail signage and rules. |

Is this 2012 or 1941? |
Description: |
A 1941-built NYC engine crossing the NYC bridge over Rt.28 makes for a once-in-a-lifetime shot, reminiscent of 1940's railroading. I was lucky enough to ride in the cab of this unit, an hour before this shot was taken, as well as get a lesson on the controls and operation of this unit from Engineer Gary. |
