I was driving out to photograph a band last weekend, when I called an audible. A quick detour to the engine house and station of the Ontario Midland RR led me to #408:



The ex-N&W unit is a rare high nose Alco RS36:



Number 408 was not alone. OMID #3 is a a former New York Central S4. which is pretty cool IMO. Why? This ROW is part of the former New York Central Hojack Line.



Also, #408 wears the same number she had while working for the N&W.

Deja vu! RS36 #408 was in the engine house when I visited the Ontario Midland RR in June, but she was outside again on a visit this month. 



S4 #3 was still sitting on the spur- I don't think she has moved in the past year.



Number 408 also had a ballast car (I think?) behind her.

A little over a year later, I found OMID's other N&W unit outside the engine house. Number 36 is an RS11, which is a bit more common than the RS36 unit. Regardless, it's nice to know these old Alcos are still working.
