Locomotives at Kinua Dam - c1960?
Does anyone out there have any photos/resources they can share on the use of locomotives to build the Kinzua Dam on the Allegheny River, near Warren, PA?
Construction time period was c1960. Three locos reported to be owned / used by construction company Hunkin/Conkey... two small Plymouth and one GE centercab. Apparently the two small Plymouth locos were also used earlier to build the power plant at Niagara Falls, NY. Info/photos on locos during construction of Kinzua, "life" before Kinzua, and "life" after, if any, is also requested and appreciated.
Replies either here or to my e-mail are ok. But, replies here are more enjoyable by all.
Thank you!
