New Arcade & Attica Pictures

I have never (to my knowledge) seen the white snowplow before. Only the black/orange one. Where has the white one been all these years?

^It's been around for years.

First pic I took of it back in 2010:

Here are some A&A pics I have taken over the past 6 months:

Switching Arcade Junction in September:

These 3 A&A boxcars now sit on disconnected track in the Arcade yard:

Preparations for opening day just before Memorial Day weekend in May:

Work begins on Prestolite siding:

Looks like #111 has been retired:

Old tender:

Old trucks:

I hope if #111 is being retired (which I understand you are just speculating at this point) that it is not scrapped. My favorite of their diesel engines, perhaps because it is the one I chased more than the others.

#111 could just be in storage.

That engine house can only hold so much. Two steam engines (though only 1 tender total), and three diesel engines is a lot to stuff in there.

I caught the B&P and the A&A working side by side at Arcade Junction in December:

http://photos.greatrails.net/s/?p=221075" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; with A&A #112
http://photos.greatrails.net/s/?p=221077" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; with A&A #112
http://photos.greatrails.net/s/?p=221078" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; at A&A MP0.0
http://photos.greatrails.net/s/?p=221102" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; at A&A MP0.0

#112 that day

http://photos.greatrails.net/s/?p=221108" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Very nice... what a stroke of luck. I have never been there when B&P switched Arcade Junction.

I forgot to post these pics of an A&A freight between Java Center and North Java on March 25:

Pics from a snowy NYE. New engine and #112 doubleheaded to North Java. At the new Prestolite siding, they split up. #112 pulled while the new engine pushed the 9 empties to Arcade Junction:

#112 and the new loco doublehead to the North Java feed mill on Jan. 22.

The B&P had dropped off 20 cars this week for the A&A!

It was 7 degrees when I took these pics so my camera did not take the best pics:

Wonder how long it will be before the FRA "reminds" them that all locomotives must display a number on each side, and the letter "F" to designate which end is front.

Is all this doubleheading lately really necessary or are they just playing with the toys?
