Hi,

The thread titled "NYO&W 44-Tonner 105 Moved from NJ to Scranton" reminded my that we have NYO&W 44-Tonner 104 here in Georgia. I seem to recall that it was owned by the Hartwell Railroad for a while and ended up at the Southeastern RR Museum.

I also seem to recall that not many NYO&W locomotives survived for preservation.

Is there a list for the surviving NYO&W locomotives?

Thanks.

Doug,
The Western Railway Museum has a former O&W locomotive #101. Erie Works C/N 15028.

I t went back to the Erie Works for "rebuilding" and was resold to the Salt Lake Garfield and Western as their D.2.

I do not know how much O&W is left after "rebuilding" and service on the Salt Air Line; a former interurban.

WRM got the locomotive from the Western Pacific railroad Museum in an equipment trade.

It is still painted for the Salt Air Line. It is on display in Car Barn Three at the head of a freight train. It is planned to remain as a static display.

There was/is another O&W NW-2 at New England Milling Co elevator in Ayer, Mass.

Caboose 8301 formerly at VRR in Essex, Conn., is now privately-owned and in a backyard nearby.

Former O&W / Unity Railways caboose at Penna. Trolley Museum in Washington, Pa. was deaccessioned and went.. where?

The Lehigh & Hudson River bought an O&W flanger some time after the NYO&W shut down. It was numbered 105 on the L&HR. It is currently located at the Phillipsburg (NJ) Railroad Museum.

I have conflicting reports on this unit (#120, I think). The bad ones say she was cut up in 2013. :-(

Is there any existing O&W steam?

"Is there any existing O&W steam?"

No. They partly paid for their 1945-48 dieselization with funds from scrapping steam (and removing most of the second main track). O&W was a hard-luck railroad and was bankrupt from 1937 until the end in 1957.

A survivor somehow got to Cuba--a Camelback, no less.

LONG gone.
