I love the video. I'm 56 when I was 8. I lived 2 houses away from a spur that delivered furniture to a local where house. They were my morning alarm clock. My buddy and I would run out and wave and sometimes the crew would throw us a candy bar or a pack of gum. Great memories.
I had no idea that there was still any rail action near Greenwich. Need to take a ride over from Greenfield to take a look. Oh yeah, I did live in Schenectady when they were built and may actually have seen them roll out across Nott Street way back then.
539 and 244 offer the best hearth beat rythmn songs among builder contrarily to big washing machine of today. 539 wasn´t so powerful but a strong reliable machine. Thanks to Irish Mc Intosh & Seymour. 244 was ill fated, thanks to war board that limited research and improvments by Alco. Many customers never came back to try the 251. Miss them so much. Thanks for that opéra.
408 and 36 (SNEX renumbered 361) are both on the Battenkill. Last i knew both went down in 2019 with a number of mechanical issue's. Neither have entered service yet as I'm guessing they still need work but both should be eventually restored. As for OMID they now have two RS18u's.

Are they using 408 ?
I ran her on the Ontario Midland in Sodus from 1995-2011.
Is OMID 36 there also ?

Nice to see the battenkill running again. What days do they run?
There is no set schedule, as it depends on the needs of the two mills, as well as how often interchange occurs with the B&E.
I’ve lived in the area of the BKRR since I was a little kid and yet have only seen it once, how do you catch it?
3:44 is that a real former D&H blue and yellow on the left ?
@@ocsrc please read the description. That engine was originally built for the Atlantic and Danville.
Where are the Alco RS 3s????
@@thomasabramson100 they were in the back, behind the high-hood power.
