We have been featuring our steam locomotives in our last couple of posts. I thought I would share a video of our honorary steam locomotives, our ALCO RS-2 #105 and our RS-3 #109 in operation. Why are our ALCOs called honorary steam locomotives? Just watch the video. Locomotive 105 was built in 1949 and Locomotive 109 in 1950. During this time, steam was still going strong. Watch when the engineer throttles up, black smoke, just like a steam locomotive! This video was shot during our photo shoot.

Into the 2000s, an Alco RS-1 survived in regular service on the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad in western New York. The engine was donated to The Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum in late 2016. From the Pentrex show "Those Incredible Alcos, Vol 1" https://rfd.video/Alcos1 | Railfan Depot

Well here's something you don't see everyday, a Baldwin VO1000 pulling an ALCO RS3. Both units are original to the Nevada Northern Railway and both units are in service. If you love first generation diesels, then this is the place for you to visit. We have an ALCO RS-2, ALCO RD-3, ALCO RSD-4, a Baldwin VO-1000 and a S-12. And an EMD SD-9. It's all at the Nevada Northern Railway Museum in Ely Nevada. When you visit us, be sure your watch back at least 75 years. | Nevada Northern Railway
