RI&M ran with Vulcan steam engines starting in the 1910s (24" gauge) and later standard gauge Vulcan steam and diesel locos. But where did they use the engines at? Off St. Paul and an NYC connection or off Mt Read with a B&O connection? The diesel was derelict by 1951. I haven't been able to pinpoint where the larger operation was that would have needed the power.
One clue was one of the Despatch Vulcan steam shop switchers was located at one of the places. Does anyone know where that was? Of course, that does not mean that the standard and narrow gauge engines were used at the same place.
Any ideas?
