Claremont Concord Railroad (CCRR)

Claremont, Concord and Clare...

Whatever. It changed so often I couldn't keep up over the years.

All I gotta say is that 44-tonner sure was pretty.
What's with the vanishing GE's in McGinnis makeup? Makes me frown.

44T # 119 remains on the property currently sitting outisde of the shop. The unit looks very nice in the black CC paint. There is a second 44T inside being rebuilt (#?), I was told that both are sold and heading to a shortline in Georgia sometime in the early summer.

The 44-tonners have been sold and were loaded onto trucks for shipment to Georgia:

S2 #106 has been sold too. I don't know to whom. Pic here:

106 is said to be privately owned by mobile locomotive mechanic Chris Freed, based out of Topton, Pa.

^Thanks!

Well, whoever owns 106, it's getting what appears to be a fresh coat of PINSLY RED!

Really??? GREAT!!!

One of the Alco's from this location will be shipped to a new switching operation near Philly to be used as the motive power.

I recently saw a picture of CC 119 at the Savannah Roundhouse Museum http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... id=1786675.
When was it shipped down there? Is it off the roster? What are the museums plans for it?

I believe they shipped earlier this year. It had been sold for awhile (along with #30). I am not sure of the musuems plans. Looks like it is in good hands (southern hospitality)

Pioneer Valley 106 , now privately owned and repainted, ( as # 27) should be off the property too.

In the Valley RR thread it mentions 2 more pieces leaving Claremont Jnc as well but no one has posted what (yet)

Im curious to know what customers does the Claremont Concord railroad serve??

Check the CCR website:

I know there is a salt distributor in Claremont.

Lavalley Building Supply also gets cars in Claremont, who I think own's or at one time owned the railroad.

Don't they also operate a small section of the Northern Line in Lebanon, NH?

Yes they do, they bring cars over the river to where the engine house kinda still stands ,some covered hoppers , and i think they go up to some gravel pit on occasion in West Lebanon
