| 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. |
