Wellsville, Addison and Galeton. That was the name of the railroad on the center cab diesel seen in photos of trains on The Put.

It can be seen on page 39 of a book entitled: Forgotten Railroads Through Westchester County, and beneath the photo of the yellow and white diesel pn page 39, it says: "The scrap contractor's train is tied up for the day at Briarcliff Manor in this November 1962 scene. The contractor leased a distinctive 900 hp General Electric centercab diesel from shoreline Wellsville, Addison & Galeton. Photo by Frank Schlegel, Collection Glenn L. Rowe."

Not sure of the size of the real thing. It might have been 70 tons instead of 44 tons.  Arnold
