Alco Heaven

            The engineer of the OL-3 has just fired up C430 #431 and is performing his inspection at the Western New York & Pennsylvania shops in Olean. There are only 5 C430s still in existence, and the WNYP/LA&L family owns 4 of them. Standing by are RS3M #406 and various M636s, along with the railroad's lone C630M and M630. With no train over the mountain to the NS interchange that day, we had to settle for OL-1 and OL-3. Scenes like this will soon be a memory as the WNYP converts to EMD power. Many of the 6 axle units, and the RS3M, have already been sold off.
