Eastman Kodak #6 (80 Ton) and #9 (RS-1) shoving hard uphill.
Title:  Eastman Kodak #6 (80 Ton) and #9 (RS-1) shoving hard uphill.
Description:  Approximate photo date summer 1975. PC dropped off the coal earlier that day. The EK crew is sorting it out and storing it in tracks on the west side of the plant. This is a true double-header since the units are not MU equipped. The view is from the Dewey Ave. overpass looking to the west. Both engines now reside at the Rochester & Genesee Valley RR Museum.

NYC 9900 & 9911 on the 1st Belt - shot 1 of 8
Title:  NYC 9900 & 9911 on the 1st Belt - shot 1 of 8
Description:  Date approximate. 9900 & 9911 are parked next to Nichols-Wyman Lumber at Dewey Ave., not an every day event. The station behind the locos is part of the lumber yard.

NYC 9900 & 9911 on the 1st Belt - shot 2 of 8
Title:  NYC 9900 & 9911 on the 1st Belt - shot 2 of 8
Description:  Date approximate. Apparently 9900 died heading upgrade from Charlotte. The crew cut off the locos and ran them up to Dewey Ave. for assistance.

Title:  NYC 9900 & 9911 on the 1st Belt - shot 3 of 8
Description:  Date approximate. Dick Hammerlein (sp?), engine house foreman at Rochester (on the walkway) is helping out the rescue hard hat (end platform). Notice the '61 Plymouth (trunk open) full of tools.

NYC 9900 & 9911 on the 1st Belt - shot 4 of 8
Title:  NYC 9900 & 9911 on the 1st Belt - shot 4 of 8
Description:  Date approximate. OK, everything is fixed and we're on our way. Note the above deck pneumatic MU connections - I've seen this on NYC RS1 locos only - not sure if they are home built or ? Note also the steam generator stack on the short hood of 9900.

NYC 9900 & 9911 on the 1st Belt - shot 5 of 8
Title:  NYC 9900 & 9911 on the 1st Belt - shot 5 of 8
Description:  Date approximate. With their retrieved train now in tow, 9900 & 9911 are about to cross Dewey Ave. 9900 really is an odd duck with the steam generator and pilot stripes - it must have had an interesting life before handling local freight. The Barnard Service & Supply Company (right) property is now part of the adjacent cemetery.

RS3s on the 1st Belt - summer of 1970 - 2 of 3
Title:  RS3s on the 1st Belt - summer of 1970 - 2 of 3
Description:  Date approximate. The brakie is getting ready to drop off at the switch, not at the one in the foreground however, but at the one for the Kodak lead, still a few car lengths beyond the front of the train. NYC (PC) 9901 made it into PC paint, but didn't make it into the next decade. The stub track is a leftover from when the two sidings (now both south of the Ridge) once extended across the Ridge. Those two sidings, plus a team track (on the other side of the train) and a lumber yard spur (this side) account for why the Kodak lead switch is so far down. All is gone today except for the main and the Kodak lead.

Title:  RS3s on the 1st Belt - summer of 1970 - 3 of 3
Description:  Date approximate. The switch has been flipped and now we're backing into Kodak. Note the advertising on the billboards: Lark's Gas-Trap Filter is being promoted as an Anti-Pollution Device, while Ford is pushing Pintos. Either one could've killed ya in the 70's !!!
