Date: 01/17/19 05:32 Re: OTD: Salt Lake, Garfield & Western Bicentennial GE44T ('76) Author: donstrack Here is D. S. 1, and its sister locomotive, D. S. 2, back in the 1950s when they were both painted the same, orange with yellow stripes. Both had arrived on the railroad in December 1951, replacing electric locomotives. They remained in service until the mid 1990s.
The D. S. 1 went to New York, Ontario & Western Historical Society; stored on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, located in Lake Placid, New York by September 8, 1997; moved to the Southern Railroad Company of New Jersey and repainted in October 2006 back to New York, Ontario & Western number 105.
