CMRR 400 |
| Description: |
Our first stop on the way up to Vermont was in Kingston, NY, home of the Catskill Mountain Railroad. Among the many interesting historic pieces stored along the old Ulster & Delaware line through the Catskills was this old Alco RS-1 in the midst of restoration. Built in 1950 for the Wisconsin Central, the unit came to CMRR for the startup of operations in the 1980s. Last run in 1987, it appears that future operation of the locomotive could be a reality due to the recently applied FRA mandated reflective striping applied to the frame. |

CMRR 401 |
| Description: |
The regular power for the excursion operations out of Kingston, CMRR 401 awaits the fall foliage season and the many visitors that it brings. Constructed by Alco in 1950 for the Illinois Terminal Railroad, the locomotive would gain its current number upon acquisition by the Green Mountain Railroad of Bellows Falls, VT, where it would work with two other RS-1s on the line between Rutland, VT and North Walpole, NH. It came to the CMRR in 1988 and has been working the east end of the U&D ever since. |

SNC 52 |
| Description: |
Saratoga & North Creek Railway BL-2 52 was built in 1949 by EMD for northern Maine's Bangor & Aroostook Railroad, where it served into the 1980s hauling freight, mainly agricultural and forest products. Iowa Pacific acquired the unit for the start of the SNC operation from a private owner who had it stored at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, WI for many years. It was restored to operation and given a new paint job in the midwest before heading east to the former D&H Adirondack branch, where it has since become one of the main locomotives used for the operation. |

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. |

Built by EMD in 1957, the locomotive also saw service on the Burlington Northern before becoming part of the 1980s MBTA roster. It was in Boston that the Geep acquired its B&M Minuteman look, and is now one of several first generation Geeps in New England that currently wear this historic paint scheme. |
