Does NYSW name locomotives? I think it might be a fitting tribute to a recently deceased gentleman that really loved the place (WR). Although I'm in no place to implement that program, it just struck me as a neat idea. Maybe on one of his favorite locomotives, like the F45 if it's still active.

One of the C-430's was named the John L. Treen... that loco is now proudly serving the LAL system, but without its name.

The 142 Steam Locomotive owned by the NYS&W T&HS has Walter Rich's names stenciled on the cab.

I know of no current NYS&W units that are named although the Alco's wore some names written in the dirt they wore :wink: One was named, "blinky".

My dad Howard (Bud) Van Zile worked with J.L.T. on the NYS&W out of Little Ferry NJ when John lived at 310-72nd Street, North Bergen New Jersey. Our family had and still has some of his photos. I beleive his sister had the majority of them. Any one know where they may have gone to ?? Dad took quite a few pictures of the trains and the crews also.
Any body know S. Sigafuss? Sparta Junction 1951. I have pictures of Engine 234 with Bud and John on the walk way with 4 other men. Some Erie RR I beleive during the war. Cranes (03128 & 03140) and bridge building (Tioga Division). Any body remember Walter (Uncle Remus) from NYC? Dad said he sure had some tales to tell. Wanna trade some copys of photos??
