NEW LEADS!! :) on more potential LV surviving locomotives. just got an email from Rich Wisneski, he has a copy of the book "Comprehensive Guide to Industrial Locomotives", and he says "it lists non-railroad locations having their own locomotives (steel mills, refineries, etc.) state by state, and the locomtives & history where known. " published in 1998. (he said there may be a newer version..) in that book are SEVEN LV engines that arent yet on the survivors list! here they are: SW900M 125 Jetplex/International Intermodal Center of Alabama/Huntsville - Madison County Airport Authority #8652 (Conrail #). S2 164 Citi Steel (Formerly Phoenix Steel) Claymont Delaware, Ex South Buffalo 104 SW8 273 Midwest Metallics formerly Calumet Shearing, Chicago IL ex CR 8687 SW 9 283 Peavey Grain East St. Louis, IL ex CR 8934 SW8m 257 NJ Steel Sayreville, NJ (CR 8671) SW8 256 First Miss Steel, Hollsopple, PA ex CR 8670 SW900m 126 Lady Jane Colliery, Penfield PA ex CR 8653 this info is 6 years old, from 1998, but odds are good many of those engines are still around! can anyone confirm any of these? and..anyone have a more recent copy of this book? thanks, Scot Lehigh Valley Survivors sscotsman@yahoo.com |

| Post subject: | Raritan SW and Wooden Boxcar |
>>SW8m 257 NJ Steel Sayreville, NJ (CR 8671) There have been two switchers at Co-Steel Raritan that I have seen the past few years. The one currently active is greay with a green stripe. The other, which was in Conrail blue, I have not seen lately. Not sure if it is gone or just hidden. The best views of the operation are from an NJ Transit train on the NJCL. But, I am usually looking to the other side of the tracks where a lovely, and quite ancient, wooden boxcar sits with all her hardware but sans trucks. I have no idea of her provenance (like that? provenance. Guess who's been watching Antiques Roadshow?) Rob rdavis@rypn.org |
