For those you who are invovled in museums in the New York State area, you may be interested to know that the MOHAWK & HUDSON Chapter NRHS is considering the sale or donation of its equpment collection according to a member of the group. They were to have a meeting yesterday 9/24/05 to discuss it with their remaining members (-20 members).
I am presently trying to find out more about the meeting and any plans that have been made which I will report here as soon as I learn more details.
Here is what they have:
NYC RS-3 # 126 ex-Amtrak 126,nee NYC 8254
NYC T3a electric,nee-NYC 278
NYC S-1 electric # 100, Nee-NYC 6000
NYC GE U25B # 2510,Nee- NYC 2510
In addition, they own some equipment that is ex-D&H/B&M at the Colonie yard. The above is kept at the Glenmont power plant siding.
This equipment needs a good home and alot of TLC. The S-1 electric is one of 2-3 that exsist while the T3a is a 1 of a kind left.
The RS-3 and U25B were stored serviceable however their current condition is unknown.
More information coming soon.
