Just a scan from the 1971 Steam Passenger Service Directory.

I believe this line is still running, although not with steam power.  I just watched a video last night of it, and they had an Alco, well, MLW, S7 switcher with an oddball engineer and four cars.

Here's my shot of the April 1971 day that the D&H turned the Cooperstown branch over to Walter Rich as the Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley.

Walt Rich is on the right, shaking hands with a D&H official. Holding the bell, on the left, is D&H trainmaster Mike O'Mara, who was based in Oneonta.

Mr. Rich was only 25 years old when that photo was taken.....
