Something one doesn't get to see every day:

BTW, the audio is particularly accurate.

If two is good-three will be better. Ex D&H RS-3 4068 has been purchased for eventual service.

My comment and question is this: The D&H had 130 RS-2's and RS-3's. Can anyone cite a unit that has actually been preserved in a legitimate museum environment ?

This is NOT to fault the DL, who put quite a bit of resources into cosmetics on both their locos, i.e., making the hood doors and hatches fit, repairing rust out in the cab sides, etc, etc.

There are engines saved but not restored or on display.

Add to that the fact that these two are running on some original D&H trackage (18 miles of it) and you've really got something there!
