UHRX 5019 |
| Description: |
One of only two surviving RS-36 units from the Delaware & Hudson, the other being 5017 on the Delaware & Ulster, 5019 has been the star of the Upper Hudson River Railroad tourist trains for many years. Built in 1963 by Alco at Schenectady, it is currently sidelined with thin wheelsets. It is indeed a rare gem that is worthy of continued preservation. |

Profile shot of the historic Alco on home rails. Unlike its counterpart on the D&U at Arkville, this unit is lettered for the railroad it was operating for on the long hood rather than for the D&H. |

It appears as though the D&H has returned to North Creek as the SNC's D&H liveried GE brings a train in from Saratoga Springs, passing the former D&H 5019. |

UHRX 5019 |
| Description: |
Found at the southern end of North Creek yard awaiting restoration back to active service. Built in 1963 for the Delaware & Hudson Railroad, it is currently under the ownership of Southwind Rail Travel Limited. Restored to D&H colors, it still bears lettering for the Upper Hudson River Railroad, the last operator of the Adirondack branch, who used this locomotive as their primary power for excursions. A closer look at the long hood also revealed the faint traces of Delaware Lackawanna Railroad lettering as well. |

UHRX 5019 |
| Description: |
Currently the only locomotive on home rails on this former D&H branch, this old Alco was built for the D&H in 1963 as part of an order of twelve units. Operating in freight service for its original owner, this was one of the last RS-36 units to see service for the D&H. Later acquired by its current owner, Southwind Rail Travel Limited, the historic locomotive operated at various shortlines, including the Lackawanna Valley, Delaware Lackawanna, and Northern Central. It even was leased to the MBTA of Boston in the late 1990s for a track rebuilding project. Last operated by the Upper Hudson River Railroad, the unit awaits a possible future restoration back to operating condition. It sure would be cool to see this thing plying the rails through the Adirondacks once again. |

UHRX 5019 |
| Description: |
A former D&H Alco rests out of service on the northern end of the former D&H Adirondack branch. Privately owned, the locomotive last ran for the Upper Hudson River Railroad, the excursion outfit that operated here before the SNC took over in 2011. The Delaware & Hudson acquired this locomotive for freight operations in 1963. It was one of the last Alcos in service on the D&H in the 1980s and also has served on several Pennsylvania shortlines in recent history, including the Delaware-Lackawanna in Scranton and the Northern Central of New Freedom. It was also leased to the MBTA in Boston for a short time for a track repair project. Hopefully this locomotive can see active service again in the future. |
