This is why I love visiting Selkirk! Surprises!!!
Title:  This is why I love visiting Selkirk! Surprises!!!
Description:  I went nuts when I saw these units in Selkirk. I had heard that in Early October, SLRG, the Saratoga and North Creek Railroad had purchased these 2 FINE units from the NYRHA in Syracuse. They are being delivered to Saratoga Springs and being put into service ASAP! I hope they dont change the paint. It will be very nice to see these 2 units back in revenue service again. I understand they both work. As a footnote, SLRG also purchased 2 former NYSW F-9s from Larrys truck and Electric as well as a former Burlington Northern F-9 that was also there. They are all being brought over to Saratoga for rebuilds. This will one day be some operation!!!

The Moment of Truth---It works!!!
Title:  The Moment of Truth---It works!!!
Description:  This is THE moment that the crew hit the button and she started right up! After sitting for over 7 years, the crew was amazed that all she needed was to charge the batteries to get her going. I was expecting clouds of smoke, but was disappointed, as all we got was a tiny poof of blue smoke, which dissipated right away.
