Photos of the 116 leading a train on 10/25/09 between Arkville and Roxbury: http://www.udrrhs.org/acrobat/nyow116_i ... 102509.pdf EH

I did on one rare occation get a chace to take pics of 116 parked behind the Mall I want to say in the late 90's maybe early 2000. I don't know what became of them photos but some day I'm bound to find all the negatives which I plan to have put on CD.

Wouldn't it be a bigger shame to have it stuffed and mounted somewhere? Landlocked or not, at least it will be kept operating... I agree with Otto, this will keep it out of the scrap yard, hopefully for good! Not to mention the fact that it's now 100% accessible for everyone's enjoyment....

One of the photos shows 1 roller bearing truck on a trailer. Dose this unit have 1 roller bearing and one friction bearing truck or a set of friction trucks? Its been a while sents I saw this unit. Both trucks are roller bearing 116 truck 1.jpg (135.62 KiB) Viewed 192 times 116 truck 2.jpg (151.66 KiB) Viewed 193 times Also saw this cool cast iron milepost in the weeds. No city shown. D&H? This was under the I-81 bridge near the track...

Thanks for the comments about the pictures. The shadow from the 81 bridge was the problem. Yes it has roller bearings. It has to be trucked into Arkville, DURR, since they are landlocked. They could have moved it by rail to Oneonta, then loaded it on a truck, but why. Brian

Great stuff! I see from the photos that there are a lot more excuses... er, perfectly good reasons , to visit the DURR...

Yup, the Georgia sun did a job on it - though nothing a good buffing out and Simoniz can't cure...

Im pretty sure the track in some sections that it would have to get there is washed out and very unusable. Im not sure what sections but im sure someone will fill in the spots where they cant use it... There is a post about Catskill Mt. news and I think there are pics that show the bridges and stuff it would not be able to get over.
