    Is this operation still alive? Have not heard of them in many years.

    Not really sure. Had a friend that worked there at the time but he has since left us and I lost track of that RR.

    These two were in a mine south of Talbottom GA. Wanted better shots but security said no.

    That is a great shot and so is the one in the link. (y)(y)

    You do bring up a good point here and I should have put this at the beginning that I would encourage anyone who wants to please feel welcome to add shots of Alco's to this thread. The more the better actually! :):):)

    I hadn't heard of it before either. I found that t's in Kutztown, PA (eastern PA) and has 4 miles of track of CNJ and RDG heritage. They appear to run passenger trains on a special occasion basis and offer freight service, though I don't know if any freight is currently handled.

    Not sure if I posted this photo before. It's of the Black River & Western's No. 57 again, but this time in a low-rez Kodachrome scan. Taken in Ringoes, NJ in October 1983.

    Those are some good looking units. I like how that C420 looks in that paint scheme. Thanks for sharing the pics. (y)

    That's no RS-3, that's an RS-1! :cool: That cab is a dead giveaway.
