CORINTH, N.Y. — The Saratoga Corinth & Hudson Railway, the heritage railway located on the former Delaware & Hudson Adirondack Branch, has added a third Alco RS3 with the arrival this week of No. 4085, a former D&H diesel long stored in Port Jervis, N.Y. The Delaware & Hudson Railway Historical Society announced the acquisition of the locomotive in January [see “Delaware & Hudson historical society gains …,” Trains News Wire, Jan. 17, 2025] and announced then it would be moved to the SC&H for restoration. The locomotive was delivered by CPKC on Monday, April 28, and then moved by the SC&H’s two RS3s — Nos. 4103 and 4118, also both ex-D&H — later in the day. Video is available here. Work has already begun on the locomotive; the SC&H says in a Facebook post it is unlikely the unit will be returned to operation this season “but we might get lucky.”
