Don's Rail Photos

This railroad was a service in the namesake cities in New York. But between 1894 and 1938 it was also an interurban electric railway. In 1894, the company acquired the Cayadutta Electric RR and the Johnstown Gloversville and Kingstown Horse RR. At this time they extended east to Schenectady. The line was rather successful, and in 1932 it purchased five lightweight Brill bullet cars. But in 1938 the state condemned the bridge over the Mohawk River. The cost of replacement was too great, and electric service ended. Freight service continued on the original trackage. Diesels came and replaced steam, but the line did not survive the early 1980s.

25 was a single truck city car.

175 was a lightweight interurban built by Wason in 1923.

100, RS2, was built by Alco in November 1949, #77572, as Delaware & Hudson 4022, Class DERS-60.  It was reclassified Class RS-15 in 1959 and sold as Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley 100 in August 1971.  It was later transferred as FJ&G 100.

Modern boxcars also found their way to the roster.

Even short lines had problems.
