The low sun highlights the curves of ALCO's six-motor Century design. This was the last shot of the day, but well worth delaying our dinner.

Sometimes on vacation, you get a shot that justifies the lack of sleep and hours of driving. My Dad & I have a ritual of deciding the "Shot of the Trip"... but we didn't even have to ask on this ... (more)

Ex Robe River Iron Ore Alcos 9412 and 9415 await their fate on an unused siding south of 7 Mile.

It is almost time for this old ALCO to leave the nest--again. This vetteran has served the Cartier and the Susquehanna. LAL received eight of the former Cartier units, of which three are going t... (more)

With a new coat of orange on its' nose and mechanical service, this MLW M636 will soon leave the friendly confines of the Cohocton shop. Thanks Bill for the info and the tour. Taken with the per... (more)

Shortly after CP's take over of the D&H in the Fall of 1990, the much anticipated arrival of 6 axle MLW's was occurring. On one of the first weekends of operation on the old D&H, three 6 axle MLW'... (more)
