I live In Scranton, and drove past these two Beauties a few times a week and their sister who still sits on the south side of town in storage, I see her almost everyday with my schedule, I was literally just near the area where she is kept just today They are beautiful Alco’s
I hate to nix your dates, but the 4118 and 4103 were on the Octoraro Railroad when it folded in 1994. The Delaware Valley Railroad took over the Octoraro lines, which operated out of Kennett Square PA. from Nottingham east to Chadds Ford Jct. PA joining the line from Modena/Coatsville PA down to Wilmington/ Elsmere Jct. I have videos and photos of the Delaware Valley Railroad using 4118 briefly until they received power in July 1994. 4103 was in storage in Montchanin DE. The Genesse Valley Transportation/ Delaware Lackawanna Railroad received them sometime afterward in the second half of 1994.
Thanks for this great documentary on my favorite railroad, the D&H, It brings back many memories of when my good friend David MonteVerde and I chased trains together all over New York and Penna. Thanks for sharing !
Great find and glad they are still with us doing their job after all these years a great product and great people who cared for them. Thank you
