DescriptionNew York Central locomotive 8255.jpg |
English: New York Central (NYC) locomotive #8255 Currently, this locomotive is privately owned by the Adirondack Scenic Railroad of Utica, NY. The 8255 was built by ALCO in 1951, and ran on the New York Central for many years before eventually being sold to Amtrak, the Mohawk & Hudson Chapter of the NRHS and eventually Century Rail, a private owner and restored mechanically and cosmetically at Colonie, NY 1982-90 and leased to the Midland Railway of Baldwin City, KS. This locomotive was in service on this line until earlier in 2015. NYC 8255 was then offered for sale. The Adirondack Scenic Railroad saw this opportunity, as they may not have NYC RS-3 8223 for much longer (8223 is owned by a group of rail preservationiss, not the ADIX). The ASRR received 8255 as a donation and agreed to pay for the moving of he locomotive, and in September 2015, the 8255 was lifted onto a flat car to be shipped via BNSF, and then CSX. When the train transporting the 8255 reached Fairview, PA, it had to stop, and was held for approxamately one week due to a hotbox that was detected on the flat car carrying the locomotive. Once this problem was straightened out, the train continued on to Utica, NY, where the 8255 was switched into the Mohawk, Adirondack, and Northern's yard, located next to the Adirondack Scenic Railrod's yard. After being secured in the MA&N's yard, the 8255 was officially delivered. As of September 2022, 8255 is in the engine house at Thendara receiving engine repairs. After those repairs, it will operate along with ADIX 1835 and ADIX 1845 (ex-CP RS-18u locomotives), and newly acquired ADIX 2400 during Adirondack Scenic's normal operating season.LO
