This is a continuation of a thread on the old forum..

We were talking about the string of Alco S2's in North Collins, NY.
"Former South Buffalo #'s 88, 98, 90, 82, 94, and 97 await an uncertain future."

there was some discussion about South Buffalo #66..there was some question if the SB ever even had a #66!
well they did!
she was originally LVRR 166, went to SB#66, and is now Michigan Central #66.
She is the S4 that looks like an S2, (blunt trucks)
here is a photo of SB#66 I recieved from David Baer.
