Nice picture of the AHM engine Joe! However, if it sold on Ebay in 2020 it must have lasted for seconds as I check daily and never saw it.

The green bulkhead cars on the front look brand new!

Not for years. This is thread, which is the most "recent" (I believe) regarding this track.

That Amtrak GG1 scheme is my personal favorite of all the GG1 schemes (ducks now ).

I haven't been driving into Albany lately but today I drove to Troy where the local used to go to Interstate Commodities, as well as drop a refridgerated boxcar off on a spur by an old freight station. However, the tracks were all empty and the rails were severely rusted over indicating that hadn't ...

Oddly, I was just thinking about these shows yesterday night. Apparently the first two series (1980, 1994) were put out by Pentrex on VHS. I emailed them yesterday to see if they still had them but they likely don't. A shame really that they haven't been released on DVD.

I am interested in scratchbuilding a small DL&W milk station based on the plans in the December 1981 Model Railroader magazine. They were small there-sided buildings with the fourth side facing the tracks open. There was a door on the wall opposite the tracks that farmers used to drop off milk c...

Wow, 2 engines to move a third and one car.

That might be it. Thanks.

Thanks. My memory is probably just faulty as I recall it being on display with a chocolate brown scheme with gold lettering. If it was only either in its faded orange/purple scheme or the current green with gold scheme, then I am clearly mistaken and thinking of something else.

Great video. I am glad it is being saved.

Question: was the engine ever displayed in Utica in a brown paint scheme? I seem to remember as a child (1980s) seeing it in brown, not in its current green. But I might be mis-remembering it.

The information came from Linwood W. Moody's "The Maine Two Footers" book. I haven't read the book in a couple of years, and I don't recall why they brought them back. There were 5 Maine 2-foot gauge railroads of note, and as the first ones closed the remaining ones frequently bought some ...

Speaking of steam locomotives saved from scrap yards in Rochester, I will bring up Monson Railroad's #3 and #4. They are small Maine 2-foot gauge Forneys (0-4-4) that were sold to a scrap company in Rochester when the railroad closed and disassembled in 1943-1944. The scrap dealer was located at the...

That is helpful. Thanks.

For those unfamiliar with the area, where exactly are you talking about? Thanks.
