Freshly restored NYS&W #206 Alco S2 switcher at Ridgefield Park, NJ Mar.86'.
A year later while in service on the L&HR the low oil alarm was disconnected by person(s) unknown and the crankshaft was wiped out. Never to run again the #206 is a static display at the Maywood, NJ station.

LOVED that scheme! The Suzy-Q was a fascinating northeastern line. I have literally dog-eared my Carsten's Susquehanna book over the decades. Liked all of the Suzy-Q, like Old Green Pond Jct, etc, but I really liked Hainesburg Jct.

Alas, this photo truly reflects the sad emptiness of Hainesburg Jct after the LNE, and then the NYS&W, called it quits and pulled their rails.
