CMRR 400 |
| Description: |
Our first stop on the way up to Vermont was in Kingston, NY, home of the Catskill Mountain Railroad. Among the many interesting historic pieces stored along the old Ulster & Delaware line through the Catskills was this old Alco RS-1 in the midst of restoration. Built in 1950 for the Wisconsin Central, the unit came to CMRR for the startup of operations in the 1980s. Last run in 1987, it appears that future operation of the locomotive could be a reality due to the recently applied FRA mandated reflective striping applied to the frame. |

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 |
| 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. |
