Caption: I was sitting at home one hot summer night, minding my own business (I think), and I get this phone call. The "boys" from the Leatherstocking Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society had made it to Welland from Oneonta, NY in quest of a couple of locomotives for the society's tourist train. So, being a member, I am obliged to help out, or at least greet them upon arrival :o). And off I go down to the former Intermetco factory just off the Hwy 406 by the canal. I brought a cooler of water and some other interesting thirst quenchers. It was HOT. So, after a sequence of photos both for myself, for the lads, and the Chapter Newsletter; we got to cleaning out these neglected units. Slater Steel had purchased Atlas Specialty Steel recently and did away with the plant switchers. The two pictured are x-CN S-7 8223; now Atlas #10 and soon to be CACV 3152. Behind it is x-CN S-4 8181, now Atlas #9 and soon to be CACV 3151. CACV is Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley; the tourist road, owned by the LRHS, based out of Milford, NY. First thing we stenciled the locomotives "CACX" on account we are not a common carrier railroad, so the reporting marks have to end in the letter "X"; thus making our official interchange reporting marks CACX. Before heading Stateside, both brake systems had to be updated in order to receive a current Blue Card, as required by the FRA. On July 4th Trillium S-13 #110 fetched the units to interchange with the CP for the trip to Cooperstown Jct., NY. They were a long time getting there, but currently both these units are still operating on the railroad. Cooperstown, for the Baseball Hall of Fame, is a great place to visit, and now you know there is a train ride to be had as well. The white car pictured is mine. I actually forgot how I got in there. :o)
