WVRR 709 |
| Description: |
The prized possession soon following right behind. Its first official assignment on the railroad since it was donated in the 80s. It also takes the turn at Alpine. Seeing this come around the curve was next to surreal, especially after passing it several times in a decrepit condition on State Road 121 for years. |

WVRR 709 |
| Description: |
The "North Pole" is located in the middle of a field just south of Alpine. It is pretty much innacessible unless you are on the train so I decided to sit in Alpine to wait for the return. The return chase was obviously the most important, and I saved some shots I skipped out on with 25 to get with 709. Sure enough, about a half hour later the train came rumbling back north with WWVR 709 on the front end. The very first train it has pulled since the 1980s. |

WVRR 709 |
| Description: |
The train smokes up as it crosses 1st Street. The crossing on the left side of the road is a unique overhead cantilever dating back to NYC steam days with a "no right turn" blinker on the bottom. Unfortunately, it appears the crossing has stopped working as it was flagged both times the train crossed it. Hopefully it will not be replaced, but we shall see. |

WVRR 709 |
| Description: |
A wide shot with the traffic on Western Avenue passing by. I have to say, this was definitely one of my better trips of the year. If you would have told me that I would go on a trip and see the only two operating Lima Diesels in the world on the same train a year ago I would have told you you were crazy. The 709 will be in regular operating circulation for the upcoming season, so if anyone wants to get a chance at documenting it, there should be plenty of chances. Shortly after everyone boarded the train went back to the shops and another year of operating along the canal came to an end. What a day! |

B&O A-3080 9371 |
| Description: |
B&O LS-1000 (A-3080) 9371, La Grange, Illinois, November 15, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Completed by Lima-Hamilton (L-H) in February 1950 on Order 1212-DE as a stock locomotive and sold to the B&O as number 335, B&O class DS-14L, (c/n 9384), it was renumbered to 9371 during early 1957, re-classed to SB-5, and is seen here on the Pielet Brothers (scrap yard) setout track at La Grange, traded to EMD for new B&O SD35's. The B&O ordered ten 1,000 horsepower Lima-Hamilton switchers from L-H stock, original road numbers 330-339, later renumbered to 9366-9375.The model LS-1000 is not an official L-H designation, but railfan's shorthand for a 1,000 hp L-H switcher. Lima-Hamilton issued specification numbers. I referred to a couple of sources in attempting to identify the model. The book, 'Lima - the History', by Eric Hirsimaki, states, 'On February 20, 1948, orders 1206-DE and 1207-DE were entered in the books. Order 1207-DE was assigned c/n's 9329 - 9348 to cover twenty 1,000 horsepower units built per specification A-3080.' This is the model designation that the Wikipedia and Yard Limit web sites use. A total of 38 A-3080 switchers were built. On November 28, 1949, L-H increased the horsepower to 1,200 by changing the prime mover fuel rack settings, and built ten (later increased to 15) 1,200 hp switchers for stock on Specification A-3170. |
