The former Alco plant switcher stands restored in its original paint scheme in the former D&H North Creek yard. Once a regular on the Upper Hudson River Railroad excursion trains, the future of this privately owned Alco is uncertain with the coming of the Saratoga & North Creek Railway. |

Plenty of Power |
| Description: |
Power from both the defunct Upper Hudson River Railroad and upstart Saratoga & North Creek Railway lay over on the enginehouse lead. It is rumored that the privately owned Alco might stay on the line to operate excursions and possibly freight. |

ALCO 5 |
| Description: |
A rather historic Alco switcher rests out of service at North Creek yard. Built in 1947, the American Locomotive Company kept the unit and used it for switching chores around the vast facilities at Schenectady, NY. The unit was later sold into private ownership and was restored to its original paint scheme. It then bounced around to several northeastern shortline operations, including the Adirondack Scenic, the Delaware Lackawanna, and even the famous Strasburg Railroad. It came to North Creek for operation on the former Upper Hudson River Railroad excursions, working with Alco RS36 5019. Sidelined after SNC took over in 2011, it was later acquired by the new operator of the line but, despite being able to operate, has mainly been a display in North Creek yard for the past few years. |

This former LIRR Alco sits derelict near the site of the old D&H Colonie shops. At one time this switcher, as well as some other historical equipment parked nearby, was to be part of a museum. It never materialized and now it just sits unprotected. |
