| Description: |
Built in 1956 by MLW for the Canadian National as number 8181, this locomotive later went to work for Atlas Steel before coming to the New York countryside for excursion service. The CACV has painted and lettered the unit to match similar D&H Alcos that once worked the Cooperstown Branch. The number is also a tribute to the D&H, following the last S-4 for that road. |

DLW 663 |
| Description: |
A F3A, painted in the old DL&W freight scheme is one of the many fixtures of the old Lackawanna Scranton freight yards. Owned by the Tri-State Chapter of the NRHS, this unit is a replica of the Lackawanna locomotives that used to call this yard home. Constructed in 1948 by EMD, it was sold to the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad of northern Maine as number 504A, later renumbered to 44. Sold down to Tri-State in New Jersey during the 1980s, it was first restored to a CNJ/CRP orange and blue look and operated around southern New Jersey and Jim Thorpe, PA for many years before coming north and gaining the Lackawanna look. As this is one of the earlier F-units, number 663 still retains the "chicken wire" look on its sides. |

RRPX 563 |
| Description: |
A former Santa Fe switcher rests in the Whippany yard of the Morristown & Erie Railway after arranging some of the railroad's streamlined rolling stock from the former Maine Eastern operation. Built by EMD in 1953 as an SW9, this unit was originally ATSF 2432. The Santa Fe would later rebuild this unit in 1974 at their shops in San Bernardino, CA, redesignating it as an SSB1200 and renumbering it 1232. Retired from the active roster in the mid 1980s, the locomotive went to serve on Amtrak, where it acquired its present road number. Number 563 has been under the ownership of Railroad Power Leasing since the mid 2000s, working freight on the Morristown & Erie as well as a few other New Jersey shortlines. The unit is currently classified as an SW1200 by RRPX and has been given a paint job very similar to some of the M&E's regular freight locomotives. |
