GOWANDA, N.Y. — It’s new paint for an old locomotive. New York short line New York & Lake Erie shows off the paint scheme applied to 75-year old Alco S1 no. 308 as part of the unit’s rebuilding and return to service, at Gowanda, N.Y., on Aug. 8, 2021. Built for Erie Railroad in November 1946, NY&LE will run the locomotive on its former Erie trackage, along with a pair of former VIA Rail Canada FPA4s. The new paint scheme combines Erie and Erie Lackawanna designs. — Scott A. Hartley
