A Comparison of Switchers |
| Description: |
Quite a few noticeable changes between one of the earliest surviving SW type units and one more modern but the overall appearance hasn't changed much over the years. LV 112 is an SW-1 built by EMC in 1939 while BDRV 8159 was constructed for Canadian Pacific in 1960 by GMD. |

What a surprise to see this here! After many years of riding behind and chasing this locomotive on both the BR&W and the Bel-Del, it was quite unusual to see this old Geep in the middle of Lancaster County. In for some maintenance at the Strasburg Railroad shops, it should be soon heading back to the Garden State. |

RHSX 1878 |
| Description: |
One last roster shot as this former NJTR, nee-CNW F7A leaves Ringoes for the last time. Built by EMD in 1949 as CNW 4073A, it was later renumbered 418 and mainly used in Chicago area passenger service. Acquired by NJ Transit as an extra locomotive for the Hoboken Division in the 1980s, it was later donated to the URHS and moved to the Black River & Western for restoration. After quite a few decades of storage at both Lambertville and Ringoes, it will now be moved to the URHS restoration facility at the former DL&W West Boonton Yard. |
