Nostalgia & History > Switcher Sunday - NYC 8407Date: 11/18/18 15:19 Switcher Sunday - NYC 8407 Author: refarkas Privately owned New York Central 8407 (Ex-Chicago River and Indiana) sits in a scrapyard in Cleveland, Ohio in the late 1960's/early 1970's.. Notice the diamond builders plate on the frame just ahead of the cab - She's a LIMA 1200 horsepower switcher not an ALCO switcher.

Only operational Lima left that I can think of is at the Whitewater Valley. It is ex CUT. Thanks for posting this photo. ALLEN Date: 11/18/18 17:16 Re: Switcher Sunday - NYC 8407 Author: P Looks very much like its little sister, #25.
Nice photo Date: 11/18/18 17:37 Re: Switcher Sunday - NYC 8407 Author: BRAtkinson Curiosity is killing me. Where's the exhaust stack? Did someone substitute an old oil drum?

Bob Date: 11/18/18 18:30 Re: Switcher Sunday - NYC 8407 Author: CPR_4000 Since it was "privately owned," I wonder where it ended up? How many Limas are with us today besides the one (or two?) at Whitewater Valley?
