SNC 52 runs around the train in North creek |
| Description: |
There are hopper cars being accumulated along the line in anticipation of re-opening the Tahawus mines. The tailings pile up at Tahawus is apparently pretty good aggregate for asphalt, and we could soon be seeing unit hopper trains traversing this line once again. |

| Title: |
SNC 821 |
| Description: |
This old Alco switcher may have the appearance of those units that once operated this branch many years ago but in reality this locomotive arrived here fairly recently. Built in 1943 for the United States Army, the locomotive was later acquired by New York's MTA and assigned to work train and helper service on the Staten Island Railway. Replaced by new Brookville built diesels in 2010, the unit was purchased by the Upper Hudson River Railroad and powered their excursions for a portion of their final operating season. Transferred to SNC, it was restored to the yellow and black paint scheme of 1940s D&H Alco diesels that were once a common sight on freight trains in this yard. SNC 821 has been used in all sorts of operations on the SNC, including acting as a switcher down at the Saratoga Springs station. |
