Dead Line has been split up

1800, 2302 & 116 have all been moved over to the Binghamton Engine house. I got lucky and saw them shifting them around this morning, 1802 was doing the work.

Anyone know what is going on? ( Hint: Kingfish )

116 is being prepared to move to a new location.

2302 & 1800 being inspected by outside concerns for possible use.

Here are a couple of pictures:

King, thats good news to hear. Are there plans to put any in service in NJ if they are deamed useable?


oh and bring some of that snow my way!!!

is that switcher #116 being put back in service? It looks in great shape.

is #116 an alco s-2 switcher like #206?

116 is an EMD NW2 built 1948 as O&W 116

and 116 is not technically a NYSW locomotive..it is privately owned and leased to NYSW.

Her current status seems to be a bit of a mystery..(to the on-line railfan community anyway..im sure her owner or owners have it all under control!
116 was owned by "Del Button", who I believe was a Delaware Otsego associate of Walter Rich..
Rich and Button are now both passed on..im not sure who owns 116 now..

Posted on the Catskill Mountain Yahoo Group the O&W 116 is going to be moved to Arkville from Oneonta on May 12th.

I believe in the estate of Walter Rich the locomotive was donated to the D&U which is where it now resides. The is a dicussion on the New York State forum with all the details and some pictures.

I was just in Arkville, NY on Monday, Sept. 7 and saw O&W 116 at the Delaware and Ulster engine house. How did it get to Arkville? By truck? Are there rails all the to Oneonta?
