I am building a model of caboose C-87, one of the old troop sleeper converted cars. I have some pictures of other converted cabooses the BAR did but each one was a little bit different. I know C-87 exists and I have seen some pictures of as it looks today, but I was wondering if anyone had pictures ...
Yes, they acquired the engine over the summer. It was recently repainted and last weekend took its turn pulling the passenger excursion trains.
My apologies. The 1977 date was when Genesee & Wyoming Industries Inc. was established. That was why I was thinking of.
Since your first asked asked what the G&W used to haul rock salt, I will mention that they G&W was founded in 1977 and covered hoppers existed decades before then. As to your second question, I have never seen a prototype G&W orange covered hopper. Not in regular service, not in Maintena...

Can anyone give me more information on this train (Train #, route, etc.)? I would love to drive down to Chatham to take pictures of it, but I don't know much about it. ...
Thanks for the update!
Did you win that slide? I bid on them on Ebay but wasn't the winner. It is a nice pictures.
I received the flier for the Alco "Rails along the Mohawk" show on 10/16/2022 in Amsterdam, NY. I can't easily post it here online, but it is shown on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ALCO-Historica ... 880365740/
Neat. I have seen that before. Too bad that would never happen today.
Oddly, at the 30-second mark they show a picture of A&A #14, which wasn't on the property in 1938.
