Canadian Pacific has announced that they are building a small yard along side of what used to be the D&H shops in Colonie, New York. In the process of building this yard, they plan to remove a number of pieces of "abandoned" (RR's quote) equipment that is in the way of the yard construction. This equipment includes: S-1 Switcher # 417 X-LIRR B&M RS-3 (shell) 2 X-Albany Port ALCO's-RS-3 and S-2 X-D&H passenger car (rare piece) NYC baggage car Wooden Caboose Wooden Boxcar All this stuff has been vandalized badly over the last 25 years and some was owned by the M&H Chapter NRHS and some was privately owned. According to the Times Union, this yard project will be 4 tracks wide and run quite a distance. The project is to be completed by October 2012. |
