A Really Light Engine. Batten Kill Railroad's 4116 (Also RS-3) was crossing the south leg of the wye over State Route 22 in Salem, New York on the late afternoon of November 23, 2021.

A little switching at the Cargill facility in Salem was the order of the afternoon, and just like that 4116 was off to tie down for the night.
