One of the projects the winter of 2008-09 was painting an ALCO S-6 locomotive. It was bought new by Western Maryland in the 1950’s. A group of men restored the engine to it’s original colors in six weeks.
Here is a before picture:
And After:
The Middletown Hummelstown Railroad uses this locomotive to move freight.
It is available for photo charter trips.

I used to visit my grandparents in Luke, Maryland growing up in the 50s-70s. Their house was right on the main line across from “the mill.” I have very fond memories of #151 switching the mill, the yard in West Virginia, and the various sidings between Luke and Keyser, WV. My best memory is the crew allowing me into the cab during their lunch break (I got to ring the bell, NO whistle!). Glad to see the old gal still some life in her. All the best!
