Built in January, 1963 by ALCO (American Locomotive Co.) for the Delaware & Hudson RR, in system wide service until late 1980's, and was last RS-36 in service on D&H, retired in 1994. This diesel is the principal locomotive used to power D&U’s trains and is kept in tip-top shape by the D&U’s expert mechanical team.

    My family and I have a lot of great memories from the many train rides that we took on the D & U. The RS36 is an absolute must see for any fan of the Delaware & Hudson or fans of Alco diesels in general. It really is in tip top shape and well worth the trip to see and ride behind.
