Working ALCO's on the Battenkill

We are up along the Battenkill Railroad in Greenwich, NY, where we see ALCO RS1 3501, owned by Raven Rail for Saratoga, Corinth, & Hudson, as it works the Cargill mill. After drilling a bunch of cars, 3501 gets shut down and ALCO RS36 5012 gets fired up. 5012 brings a tank car and four covered hoppers to CaroVail at Salem Junction, where the train then gets re-blocked for interchange down at Eagle Bridge. We see the 5012 at Route 22 in Salem Junction, and then again down at the Route 22 crossing in Cambridge. We then see the engine as it runs lite around the train in Eagle Bridge. 3051 was built in 1951 for DuPont as their 107, and was originally used with the Department of Energy, before being sent to the International Intermodal Terminal in Huntsville, AL, before being bought by Raven Rail for the SC&H. 5012 was built in 1962 for the Atlantic & Danville and changed hands a number of times before landing on the Battenkill roster. Enjoy the sounds of the ALCO 539T of the 3501 and the ALCO 251B of the 5012. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The videos were taken on August 22nd, 2024.
