Steam Returns to Western NY: Fall Foliage with Arcade & Attica #18
It's a sunny October 19th, 2024 as Arcade & Attica ALCO 2-8-0 consolidation #18 takes leaf peepers on a scenic journey along the Arcade & Attica Railroad. After being overhauled the last seven years, #18 made its grand debut back into service in September 2024. In this video, we will follow the #18 as it departs the shops, hooks onto its train, and takes the 11AM fall foliage trip from Arcade, NY to Curriers, NY. To conclude our coverage, we will watch #18 struggle to get the sold-out train moving out of Curriers on the return trip, putting on a fantastic show for the cameras.

    During WW2 and the early 1950's the W&P used to see 40 trains a day between Pittsburgh and Wheeling. It was down to two trains each way plus local industrial switcher run in the mid 1980's when CSX decided to abandon it west of Washington PA. The decline of the W&P is a classic example of the decline of industry in the Pittsburgh region. 😔

    I love the banter between engineer and brakeman at about 35:00-38:00. Cool to see them having fun for a small photo/video op next to the station. It looked real nice, made me feel like I was in 1950 and see it in real time.
