I am a little confused as I thought the Erie's electric line from Rochester ended at Mount Morris. Did it continue to Dansville on it's own ROW, or via trackage rights/purchase of DMM? No, and no. The Erie electric line ended in Mount Morris, the Erie never extended to Dansville. the DMM never exte...

Re: Towanda & Monroeton S.L. SW-1 status

When it was owned by TMSL, it was usually kept in a small engine house in Towanda, where the TMSL met the NS line right near the Susquehanna river bridge. (perhaps it was kept in Monroeton in earlier years?) Reading and Northern bought the TMSL in 2010, they were hoping to have a lot of fracking bus...

It's now owned by the ARHS, on loan to Steamtown in Scranton.
last I heard (a few years ago) it was said they plan to restore it to its original ACL purple scheme, and use it as a Steamtown park switcher.

I just googled it, and found a reference to LAL 15 on "the diesel shop" https://www.thedieselshop.us/LAL.HTML" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It must be just a typo. ;) a mistake, because the locomotive itself has been saying all along that it is LAL 14, and it has...

Otto, The former Tioga Central No. 14 has always been referred to as LAL No.14, since it moved to Cohocton from Wellsboro four years ago. Never seen it called #15 anywhere before. (Just curious, where did you find a reference to #15?) No, there has been no conformation that No. 14 or No. 5 have been...

I joined the DL facebook group, (im already a member of all the relevant NY state groups)
I can find zero discussion anywhere about the locomotives going to the DL.
All I know of is that one random facebook post from a few weeks ago, that I mentioned in my last post.

I agree..just a rumor.
