AGWAY is still receiving shipments of grain from the local farms as WPMA-17 pulls into the siding. 17 will set out 3 empty grain cars and pickup 11 cars.

I was surprised to see it was standard gauge. Thanks for posting this Pete, you made me do some googleing.

Many years ago, now, I found and purchased a Gem Brass model of "Skookum". She's now painted and lettered for Shinnecock Hills Lumber Company.
From the first time I saw this loco, I have considered this one of the most interesting Steam Locomotives. It was years later that I added another 2-4-4-2 to my collection....an MDC 3' gauge 2-8-0 kit, kitbashed into a narrow gauge, outside frame, 2-4-4-2

March 1962 MR has drawings, information, and photos of the Little River, Baldwin, 2-4-4-2.
When I bought the brass model, I used that article/drawings/photos to add a bit more detail.
When the owner of Sag Harbor Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company saw how well the 3' gauge, outside frame 2-4-4-2 was handling the tight curves in the shipyard, He had his staff draw up a 3' gauge outside frame 2-6-6-2.
The shipyard is currently building this loco, between ship overhauls. The yard needs this loco for some of the heavier loads, that the 2-4-4-2 can't handle. Why articulated locos?..........there are some seriously tight curves in the track work, especially around the dry dock areas, and the owner liked articulated locos better than double heading 0-4-0's, or 0-6-0's.

I saw this today in New Waterford, Ohio. It was on NS 15V which had had a separation and went into emergency. Some one else must miss Conrail.
