While researching my "Surviving
Lehigh Valley Locomotives" webpages,
I discovered that 2 former LVRR
Locomotives can be found south of Buffalo, NY.
and since I live only one hour
from Buffalo, (in Rochester) I had to drive out and look for them!
The 2 units are both Alco S2 switchers.
LVRR 151 - now Buffalo Southern
107
LVRR 165 - now Buffalo Southern
105
The 2 units were sold to the South
Buffalo Railroad in 1965.
Then bought by the Buffalo Southern
in (?)
They have been in Buffalo nearly
40 years after leaving the LV!
(please note "Buffalo Southern
Railroad" and "South Buffalo Railroad" are 2 different railroads!)
151
Unfortunately BS107/
LV151 is not in operating condition, She apparently has a cracked block..
I dont know what the
B.S's plans for her are..
(even if she isnt
operating, she would still make a great static display at a museum somewhere!)
165
Buffalo Southern 105
/ LVRR 165 IS operating!!
I found her idling
happily in Hamburg NY
Click here for a picture
of 165 back in her LV days: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/lv/lv165s.jpg
Four former LV Alco S2's ended up on the South Buffalo.
LV151/SB107/BSOR107
- currently not operating with Buffalo Southern (photos above)
LV159/SB106
- scrapped
LV164/SB104
- current fate unknown.
LV165/SB105/BSOR105
- currently operating as Buffalo Southern 107.
Here are a bunch of
photos of the 4 Buffalo units.
