OHRY 40 |
| Description: |
Built as Boston & Maine Railroad 1126 in 1953, this locomotive was acquired by the Owego & Harford in the 1990s and used to power Tioga Scenic Railroad excursions north out of Owego. The excursions, not to be confused with previous operator Tioga Central Railroad, ended in 2005 with the unit sitting dormant since. Note the B&M style numberboards still extant on the front of the unit. |

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. |

A profile shot of this mightly fine replica. The original SW1 400 was constructed in 1943 for the Port Everglades Belt Line Railroad. Privately owned while on the BR&W, the unit left the property in the 1970s and was cut up for scrap during the summer of 2009 at a grain facility in Illinois, where it had worked as a yard switcher. |

Classic Pose |
| Description: |
In honor of their 50th anniversary of operation on the former PRR Flemington branch, some locomotives on the Black River & Western have been given repaints. 2-8-0 60 stands in Ringoes yard with former LV 112, restored as a replica BR&W 400. Such scenes were commonplace here many years ago when 60 and the original SW1 400 operated side by side in passenger and freight service. The first SW1 400 left the railroad in 1973. |

BM 1109 |
| Description: |
One of the oldest diesel electrics in preservation today, former Boston & Maine 1109 was one of three SW-1 units built by EMC for use in the yards around North Station in Boston, long before the days of Amtrak and the MBTA. This locomotive worked for its original owner for twenty years before the start of its second life in service on New England shortlines owned by the Pinsly Company. Number 1109, along with sister 1110, was acquired by the museum in the fall of 1986. The paint scheme on the locomotive matches those of the steam locomotives it once worked alongside, before the days of the Minuteman and Bluebird looks for the B&M's diesel fleet. It is one of quite a few pre World War II constructed diesels preserved throughout the Northeastern United States, representing a time when the diesel was still an outsider on the railroad scene and mainly confined to yard movements. |

| Description: |
Another current restoration project at Steamtown is this historic SW-1, constructed by the Electro Motive Corporation in 1939. First tested on the Atlantic Coast Line, it was soon rejected and resold to the Richmond Terminal Railroad. Over the years, through its various owners, it slowly worked its way up the east coast of the United States, finally coming to Pennsylvania in the 1970s under ownership of the Towanda Monroeton Shippers Lifeline. |
