    What was the last rolling stock built new for the WP&Y in freight-hauling days?

    WP&Y

    I'm not exactly sure but there was some Alco Low nose diesels added in the 1960's and some freight cars. As for the passenger cars the Sumpter Valley cars went to the WP&Y when the SV was shut down. Some of them have been returned. As far as I know the WP&Y has added some passenger equipment to handle the tourists from the cruiseships. I think WP&Y might have built them in the RR shops.

    I have lots of photos of the WPand Y. Mainly it was tank cars and flats. they had a version of containers that fit their cars and thats how they prefered to haul freight.

    The DL535E's were delivered in 1969 and 1971. In 1982, they ordered Bombardier DL535W's, which didn't arrive until after shutdown.

    My question was specifically about rolling stock. I believe some ore cars were built around the time of the DL535E's. What, if anything, came after them?
