I saw 2, one with an unmoterized car behind it. That one was driving. They had a few motors laying around for it i think.

Yes. These were the diesel powered type. I have found almost the same, two shots of her but she didn't look that good like in your images. These were taken in 2016.

Nice Vt train, been to NH many times. Here is a Boston and Maine rather used engine in Barton VT, not far from the Canadian border, 1976. Beautiful country in Orleans county VT, vacationed there long ago.

Got to love New England....

Born and raised in New England. Here is that same engine, blue B&M refurbished and re painted now at Conway Scenic Railway in NH still has B&M road name. My wife and I rode this train about 15 years ago through the wilds of NH. Picture by Wally Hills.

It's a cloudy spring day in 1953, and photographer Tom McNamara is on the Route 118 overpass at East Litchfield, Conn.,
watching this New Haven Railroad diesel locomotive couple onto the freight train, after setting two boxcars out on the
siding at right. That's a lumber, coal, and oil dealer that existed until the late 1970s. The dual-purpose ALCo diesel is not
quite 3 years old; it might handle a freight like this Waterbury-Winsted run one day, and the Winsted-Bridgeport passenger
train the next. RMNE has the only one of these locomotives left (out of 45) from the New Haven Railroad, number 529,
now undergoing restoration at Thomaston.

How weird is that! I was born 60 miles away in Massachusetts in May of 1953! Cool pic! My grandfather was a brakeman and then car knocker for NYCRR at the North Adams Junction in Pittsfield MA retiring in 1959. I remember these Alco switchers at the junction in NYCRR colors.

My first love when it comes to US railroads, Delaware & Hudson!
I still try to find the CTC BOARD magazine where I first came across them, back in late 70's or early 80's....

Fort Edward, New York, 13th of September, 1976....
I can almost hear the engine working away....

D&H Alco RS? My grandfather that worked for NYCRR was from Greenwich NY not far from Ft Edward. Been there and love the Lake George area also!
