A visit to an ALCO powerhouse!
I am lucky to be a railfan in Rochester. Just to the south of our fair city there is a shortline railroad that relies exclusively on ALCO products! The Livonia, Avon and Lakeville opperates on three seperate routes. The LA&L's home road connects with CSX on the old West Shore RR in Henrietta, N.Y. and runs southwards to Lakeville, N.Y. The Western New York and Pennsylvania which runs from Hornell, N.Y. to Meadville, Pa. and the Bath and Hammondsport which runs between Painted Post, N.Y. and Cohocton, N.Y.
It is on the B&H in Cohocton where I was able to get some shots of a few of the lines newest acquisitions. The 2 old B&H Alco S-1 switchers # 4 & #5 were there as were #422 + #423 C-424 m's. #73 an Alco M-630 was there along with #'s 3668, 3664 and 3666 all 6 axle monsters. Also on the property were 2 more Alcos, C-424's I think, #'s 4264 and 4223. That makes 10 Alco units in one location that isn't a museum!!!
