A former DL&W caboose, still partially in Conrail blue, rests at the end of the Alco deadline near the Hamburg station. This car was one of several built upon the old frames of steam locomotive tenders by the Lackawanna in the early 1950s. |

ACJR 7133 |
| Description: |
One of two former Long Island Railroad P54 "Ping Pong" coaches acquired from the AC&J out in Ohio for a new tourist operation over the Buffalo Southern Railroad. Car 7133 was constructed by AC&F in 1927 for commuter operations on Long Island, later going into excursion service for various excursion operators including Steamtown in Vermont, Knox & Kane in Pennsylvania, and Ashtabula Carson & Jefferson in Ohio. |

ACJR 7136 |
| Description: |
The Buffalo Cattaraugus & Jamestown Scenic Railway's other ex-LIRR Ping Pong awaits excursion service in Hamburg. It appears as though this coach is undergoing restoration into some sort of dining car. Built in 1927 by AC&F, the car seems to have stayed with sister car 7133 after retirement from the Long Island Railroad. |

PRR 4483 |
| Description: |
The WNYRHS' massive former PRR Decapod 4483 sits on display across from the old ERIE Hamburg depot. Constructed by Baldwin in 1923, this locomotive saw heavy freight service in both Pennsylvania and western New York while working for the PRR. Replaced by diesels and retired in 1959, 4483 was moved to a roundhouse in Northumberland, PA to join the rest of the PRR Heritage Collection that upper railroad management was assembling at the time. Unlike most of the other items in the collection which would eventually wind up at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, 4483 left the collection in 1963 for Westinghouse where it would serve as a static display in front of the company's western Pennsylvania headquarters for the next nineteen years, the WNYRHS acquiring it in 1982. 4483 is the last example of a PRR 2-10-0 left in existance today. |

ACJR 107 |
| Description: |
With the arrival of the leased SD-9 for freight operations, the remaining Alcos on the line seem to have been put out to pasture pending a decision about their future. AC&J 107 is only seven years older than its replacement, having been built in 1950. Coincidentally this switcher and the HZRX SD-9 came from the same railroad, the Nickel Plate as number 107 was originally NKP 45. |

CSS 802 |
| Description: |
A very rare electric locomotive, CSS 802 was one of twenty units constructed by GE in 1949 for export to the USSR. However due to deteriorating relations between the US and the Soviet Union at the time, the locomotives were instead rebuilt to standard gauge and sold off to American railroads, including the Chicago South Shore & South Bend. 802 served on the Chicago area line until retirement in 1983. Nicknamed "800s" on the CSS, they were also referred to as "Little Joes" in reference to where they were originally supposed to be sent. |

NYC 2500 |
| Description: |
The U25B model was General Electric's first successful road diesel locomotive built for domestic use after the company split from its partnership with Alco, and an attempt at competition with other builders including rival EMD. Part of the Universal series of locomotives, 478 were produced between 1959 and 1966. Number 2500 was built in 1964, the first constructed for the New York Central Railroad and one of two that still exist from a fleet that eventually totalled seventy. Out of the 478 built, only six of these locomotives survive today. |

NS 3563 |
| Description: |
One of the youngest diesel locomotives preserved in a museum, number 3563 was donated here by Norfolk Southern a few years back. While most would consider this a front end view of the locomotive, in true N&W style, this unit is actually set up that the long hood end is designated forward. |

| Description: |
View of the designated front end of the 3563. Even at the late date when this locomotive was constructed, NS was still ordering new units set up for long hood forward operation, despite having a low short hood with better visibility. This was a practice carried over from predecessor Norfolk & Western Railway. |

GNWR 20 |
| Description: |
Today's Genesee & Wyoming is a worldwide shortline holding company. However back in 1944 when this 80-ton locomotive was constructed the GNWR was a small shortline in western New York which mainly hauled salt from the mines around Restof. Number 20 was the shortline's first diesel and perhaps the first locomotive to wear the familiar G&W orange and black seen on so many shortline railroads in the 21st century. The locomotive served the G&W well until 1962 when it was sold to a construction firm and used to help construct the Kinzua Dam in Warren, PA. It arrived at the museum in 2016. |
