Walter Parks General Being a former D&H clerk, It's sad to see a part of the history of the D&H being scrapped. It's a shame that you weren't able to keep it and restore it back as a part of D&H history. 11/7/2013 5:54:45 PM
Joel Christensen General A shame:( who owned it? Too bad 7312, 7304, and 7303 will be painted over by then end of next year. No more DH grey, yellow and blue. 11/8/2013 8:39:11 AM
Matt Giardino General I wish we could have saved it. That was our intention when we aquired it from the Mohawk Hudson Chapter NRHS. We were put into an impossible situation with the railroad that owned the property though (and we completely understand) and it ended up being a "get rid of it or we will take it and get rid of it". When it came right down to it, the locomotive was missing enough parts to make even a cosmetic restoration difficult. It will not be a wast though as parts went to other operating RS3s and money from the scrapping will go towards the preservation of an even rarer ALCO locomotive. 11/8/2013 10:54:02 AM
