New locomotive delivery – 12/4/2008
On Thursday 12/4/2008, the R&GVRRM’s two new General Electric “tonner” locomotives are delivered by the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Road to the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum in Rush (Industry), New York. We pick up the delivery north of Avon, New York and catch it several times before arrival at Industry. Finally freed of the locomotives and their speed restriction, the LA&L road train powered by two ALCO Centuries roars by the R&GVRRM’s new locomotives parked safe on their new siding.
Thanks to the generosity of Rochester Gas & Electric Corporation, these two locomotives were donated after serving RG&E for many years at their Russell Station electric generating plant in Charlotte, New York which was shutdown in the spring of 2008. The engines are a GE 110-tonner, #8, and a GE 45-tonner, #1950. The #8 (built 1967) is fully serviceable and the #1950 (built 1950) runs, but needs a fair amount of mechanical and cosmetic work prior to entering service. Donations are welcome to help us preserve and restore these two locomotives.
