A friend living on the West Side of Manhattan wrote today, telling me that a restored Alco S1 Switcher donated by the Cross Harbor Railroad, is fenced in at a new park being constructed on the site of the West Side Yards. There seems to be a lot of landscaping going on around the engine, and our report says that it's looking better and better every day.
The engine was built for the Erie, here's an old article about it;
