Re: Private equipment collection at Colonie and Glenmont

We had permission from PSE&G in 2006 to remove the fill that covered the track to the equipment where the gate is shown. At that time we could have moved the equipment up to the siding to CSX which still had the switch in place. Could have easily craned to heavy duty flat cars. At that time the ...

There's actually a D&H Lightning Stripe RS36 on the Batten Kill, it's just not 5019. It's not a D&H engine, but numbered 5012. I believe it came from DCL RR.

I noticed Poland is off the list for Herkimer County. It's still there. The owner encapsulated it with a new structure but it exists. He retained the original window in the peak of the roof on the west end.

Serial number matches list available on The Diesel Shop website as a 50 tonner. It was purchased from Ozark Mountain Railcar 2 years ago by a private owner from a scrap yard in Indiana and moved to Catskill Mountain RR to serve as a back up on their west end. When that didn't pan out, was sold to ne...

Generally if its less than 50 tons and height isn't an issue it's a very practical way to move the smaller engines around. The 43 was pulled up onto the trailer by a U23B and driven off under its own power in Kingston. Most critical part is finding a spot where the ground is close to level with the ...
