These pictures were taken in July of 2011. . . If you have pictures featuring M&H Railroad equipment I’d be glad to feature them on the blog and social media sites. Just email them to mhrailroad at gmail.com.
After a lot of hard work along with some blood, sweat, and tears our 1955 GE 65 ton center cab locomotive #2 is back to work pulling the passenger cars. Isn’t she purty?! You can see how it looked and read what we worked on this past winter. Regularly scheduled train rides are available over the summer weekends. The schedule page gives more details so you can plan your trip and come get your own…
Our major project for the Winter this year is to repair and repaint locomotive #2, our 1955 GE 65 ton center cab. The tear down of engine is already in process plus we are working on the inside of the cab. Gauges have been sent out to be certified and the entire instrument panel has already been restored. We are still in the mode of paint chip removal and hope to be painting the cab…
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. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX2r-V596iI
