CMRR 401
Title:  CMRR 401
Description:  The Catskill Mountain Railroad's well known Alco RS-1 provided the power on the west end of the train this day. Built in Schenectady in 1950, about 70 miles from this location, for the Illinois Terminal Railroad. The locomotive later migrated to the Green Mountain Railroad of Bellows Falls, VT, joining two other units of its type for a few years before coming to the Catskills region. Now one of two RS-1 units on the property, and the only one that runs, the locomotive was constructed in the same city as the GE switcher on the other end of the train about eight years later.

CMRR 401
Title:  CMRR 401
Description:  The regular power for the excursion operations out of Kingston, CMRR 401 awaits the fall foliage season and the many visitors that it brings. Constructed by Alco in 1950 for the Illinois Terminal Railroad, the locomotive would gain its current number upon acquisition by the Green Mountain Railroad of Bellows Falls, VT, where it would work with two other RS-1s on the line between Rutland, VT and North Walpole, NH. It came to the CMRR in 1988 and has been working the east end of the U&D ever since.
