Remarks & Notes

Coming East Again. Famously acquired by Doyle McCormack after a lengthy career where it saw service for the ATS&F, Delaware and Hudson, and in Mexico, Santa Fe Alco PA-1 #18 is one of four known survivors of the PA-1 class. The selection of the Nickel Plate Road (NKP) colors and number for this unit was cited by Mr. McCormack as honoring the first engine that he had a cab ride in as a younger man in Conneaut, Ohio, where he grew up while his father was an NKP operator and dispatcher. The engine has lived at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland, Oregon recent years, and it was announced on Thursday, March 2, 2023, that an agreement had been reached and locomotive was acquired by Genesee Valley Transportation Co., Inc. to complete its restoration to active status. It was on display at the N.C. Transportation Museum during the "Streamliners At Spencer" event on May 29, 2014 in Spencer, North Carolina, the only time that this engine has been east of the Mississippi since being restored.
