Eastern Railroad Discussion > Alco cab rideDate: 06/27/16 14:17 Alco cab ride Author: m1bprr Back in October of 2000 as a volunteer at Steamtown I had the opportunity to ride Delaware Lackawanna's Alco RS-3 #4118 the first to be restored by the DL shop crew at the south Scranton shop. The train a deadhead move to Carbondale to pick up school kids to take them to Steamtown to show them railroad heritages.

Date: 06/27/16 18:15 Re: Alco cab ride Author: jjd0618psd Hey Ed I'm very jealous. As a kid I used to ride they Erie on the NY Division. A engineer taught me how to run the engine and at the age of 14 I was doing some switching on the pick up. Engineer would get off the engine and take a walk and let me run the show. I would sometimes got to Croxton and come back on the 99 at night with four F units pulling about 100 cars. It was great but I never went into railroading.. A few years ago my wife gave me a birthday gift ENGINEER FOR A DAY somewhere in CT. Ran a ALCO RS 2 for about 2 hours. Engineer was surprised how well I did for not every being employed by a RR. I've got some great memories of being in the cab and running them that are worth $$$$ to me the same as your cab ride is to you. I love the sound of those RSs plus the smoke. Post more videos if you have them

Date: 06/28/16 08:11 Re: Alco cab ride Author: m1bprr DL 4118 is still in service today along with three other sisters on the Delaware Lackawanna, one in Jersey Central colors. The Hancock 4700 air whistle has been replaced with the proper Nathan M3RT1.
