The 14-mile-long salt hauling Genesee & Wyoming Railroad dieselized in the 1950’s with a small fleet of Alco RS1’s and S4’s. Later, a few secondhand RS1’s were added to the roster, including this 1948 New Haven alumnus. Otherwise, operations serving the huge salt mine continued as usual into the 1980’s. Change is in the air, however, with two new MP15’s in a different paint scheme with a new logo sitting out of sight beyond the 42. In two years, acquisition and expansion will begin, starting the metamorphosis from an obscure short line to a global industry leader.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
