New York Central Alco RS3 8223 Attacks Big Moose Hill (Adirondack Railway)

Need I say more?

[@paulcrowshaw4232]

Wow rpms up the load stabilized turbo caught up to all the fuel the governor/racks sent Alco's are not that smokey after all. Four strokes rule! It seems like a long grade up what are the specs on that?

I rode up in the cab of this diesel locomotive.

A great trip it must have been!

I thought an RS3 was attacking a big moose. :-) Nice video, sounds great. Is that horn off a cruise ship.

[@harrisonbalduf3290]

It sounds like the RS3 IS the big moose!

That diesel sounds like someone took a model"A"Ford converted to diesel,then put a turbo on it,then put a moose call on it...LOL!!.Great video!!.Nothin like time travel to the early 1950's.

[@MoonwolfeConsulting]

4 gauge yep

[@DH7409]

It is original NYC 8223, but it is not the original paint. She's been through a couple of owners since the end of the NYC.

Was the train pulling anything? I used the side and down arrows on the keypad and the camera is not responding. lol

That horn sound's like a big moose, great video!

[@MoonwolfeConsulting]

cuzinitr I thought it sounded more like a moose mating call.

[@zachman1394]

the horn sounds a little sick from that camera angling but otherwise an amazing find, its got that perfect dingy rumble sound to it

[@b3j8]

To be honest, those single note horns usually sounded sick to some degree!

[@thomasabramson100]

Great video of a great old loco

[@railpast]

When was it taken?

[@Shane-Singleton]

Good to hear an old RS3 actually put the throttle on rather than just putting around.

[@andrewscolari5724]

I think I can... I think I can... I think I can...

[@cvgeeps]

Was the paint original NYC or was it repainted ?

[@brucefelger4015]

Summit of the NYC was just outside Big Moose.

[@RailPreserver2K]

Is the unit still in use as of today in 2020 ?

[@MoonwolfeConsulting]

Does this engine have a nickname?
