The GP40's were not the last loco's delivered to the NYC the Alco C-430's were and incidently, they were the last to be built by Alco.

Alco's very last locos.....

.....were two T-6 switchers built for Newburgh & South Shore, numbers 1016 & 1017, completed in Jan 1969. One is now on the Middletown & Hummelstown RR in PA.

The NYC C-430s certainly were the last NYC Alcos.

What happened to the Apache NYC Alco they had? Think it was a RS32.

Whats the status of the non-restored U25B? There was a topic a while back on it but it lost interest.

4 C430 on LA&L lines
1 RS-32 each on A&M and D-L

There was a good sized group of GP-40's that went to the C&NW and were re-sold to NREC? for GP-38 conversions.

Are all 4 C-430's NYC's? I thought they had one of the old Reading's or GB&W's. JIM

The Railroad Of New England has a New York Central RS-3 on one of their sidings in Thomaston CT.
Not sure of the number if its 8909 or 8904.

Yes, all four of the LAL C430's are NYC.

http://gold.mylargescale.com/Scottychaos/NY-Alcos/

there is a 5th surviving C430, GBW #315, preserved at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay Wisconsin.

those are the total surviving C430's.
4 from the NYC.
and 1 GBW.

Several NYC GP40's are also still operating with the Rochester & Southern and the Buffalo & Pittsburg.

RMNE RS-3

 #314329  by H.F.Malone
 
RMNE's RS-3 mentioned above is NOT an NYC unit--- it is originally B&M 1508, built 1954, and swapped with D&H in 1974 for another RS-3. It became D&H 1508, later D&H 4075, then went to Steamtown in 1984. Sold to a private owner, it served at Western Maryland Scenic Rwy as "WM 199" until 1999. The owner moved it to Michigan to operate on a ex-NYC branch, and painted it into the pseudo-NYC "cigar band" it currently wears. Bought by RMNE in 2005, it will go back to being B&M 1508 again, sometime in 2007.

The only existing NYC RS-3s that I know about are the one at Adirondak, and the one in Kansas.

How about older EMD switchers? There's got to be a few of those still around.

One more

Speaking of switchers I can't believe that nobody has mentionned one of my favorite locomotives of all time: B&H #5. She's an Alco S-1 built as NYC #872 in March, 1950, and retained the same number briefly under PC. She then became Despatch Shops #5, until sent to GE(?) for disposition when the shops closed. Old #5 arrived on the B&H in August, 1970 and has been there ever since.
