    ooh, I love the A&A. I remember riding it when I was young. Very neat history.

    2-8-0 #18 hauls the excursion trains (currently out of service waiting for repairs)[​IMG]
    GE 44-tonner # 112 handles freight duties and passenger excursions when #18 isn't available. below is a shot of the interchange with the Buffalo & Pittsburgh railroad, where the A&A gets it's freight.[​IMG]
    Sometimes #18 even gets in on the freight action!

    It would be such a nice route to have once steam trains get figured out. Some passenger services, and some freight switching as well.

    **Currently only diesels #112 and #113 are the active locomotives. As of the spring, #18 was in need of serious boiler repairs. #110 is currently on display with a boxcar and caboose, with an open cab to explore.
    (If you ever find yourself in the Western New York area, definitely check out his little railroad.)
