The Allentown & Auburn's vintage switcher idles next to the engine house prior to taking a trip to Kutztown. The unit still wears the green and yellow colors it acquired during its days on the Stewartstown Railroad in southern Pennsylvania. Originally built by EMC as a model SW for the Philadelphia Bethlehem & New England Railroad, it was later rebuilt and redesignated as an SW-900m in the 1950s. Photo taken with permission. |
