The operators of the UPPER HUDSON RIVER Railroad lost their operating contract as of December 31st 2010 and are now selling ALCO PLANT SWITCHER # 5.
This switcher is the LAST remaining switcher in existence that once worked at ALCO.
I am waiting for more information as to its condition, but the asking price is $50,000
It has friction bearing trucks, 660 hp ALCO 539 6 cylinder diesel engine.
If anyone has serious interest to BUY this unit, please contact me off list and I will give you updates I receive plus the owners contact information.
Owner is not willing to donate at this point.
Thank you
