That had to be a big deal as that was a lot on that line for the day. AWSOME to see the ol RS-3s still at work even if it's thee only units in the roster...
Pulling all those empty spine cars costs a lt of money (non-revenue - unless it’s a contract). Nice video though in country that doesn't;t seem t see a lot f heavy rail. I noticed that the motive power consists in “hand-me-down”s
well, not exactly. No actual loads of garbage were brought in on these cars. After they were built, this railroad got a contract to store the cars empty on their system until they were needed.
Those alcos smoke like the old macks I used to drive !
Awesome video great sounding horn on this guy!
it was great seeing both paint schemes.. how awesome that you just happen to see and record this event.. good stuff. Thank you for sharing. Tom
Excellent video love to hear those old 244s
You love your work. Keep banging away!.
Had family that lived in Salem a couple houses down from the rails. Rode the scenic train way back.
Excellent video, THANK You

Todd Brown Definitely. Very seldom are both of the units used at once.
Love the way that horn sounds echoing through the distance. Anybody know exactly what model or tones the horns are made of?
WAY COOL !!!!! i WOULD LOVE TO BE THE OWNER OF THAT HOUSE WITH THE SMALL PATIO DECK NEXT TO THE TRACK...........
Awesome video! Someday I'd like to get out there to film them
Thanks! Out of all the places i shoot the Battenkill is definitely my favorite, lots of great shots.
Would have loved to see the whole train in one of the scenes. But still some nice footage
Nice
Looks the the trailing had a steam generator
4116 probably burns as much lube oil as it does diesel.
How do they even get parts for those engines? I’ve heard finding parts for 244’s is nearly impossible.
I like A

Not that hard. Just buy after market parts or strip them off any alco switcher
@@ReadingAreaRailfan Who even makes parts for the 244?

Hi
would it be ok if I used parts of this video in my upcoming video on the rs-3?
that engineer now knows what he's doing.,7:06
Cool, but where’s the ditch lights?
Do you ever see those spine cars loaded?
davesnowjonesboro These cars are not to service this line. Only being stored until they are needed.

How old are these engines ?

I wouldn't expect anything less from the citizens of NYC - send our garbage somewhere else.

Don't laugh garbage is big bucks !
RS-3 Duo? The first is not an RS-2?
So you got a 3200 hp consist
