That morning they were moving hoppers out of new hope from storage, it waited for us to get to Boston and they coupled 2546 on the rear and it pulled the train back to New Haven. 2546 pretty much hitched a ride back with us. Pretty cool move.
@GrantYoung77. Thanks, its good to hear the blue loco wasn't scrapped. Its sad to hear the other 2 were. I've heard 1846 used to give service at the KRM but for some reason taken out of service. Did the KRM sell units 76 and 77? I know they're not there anymore along with #1025.
Really, I didn't know that. I was over there on Veteran's Day in November and I never saw it, is it in the work shed that number 152 is parked in. I got some pictures and saw B&O # 21, but not number 77.
@GrantYoung77, yes it was a pretty cool move. I've seen a video on TH-cam from 2010 of the KRM. Up on the second track on the hill where 285 sits there was a switcher numbered 7374 and a Fairbanks-Morse loco numbered 1846. Those aren't there anymore can you tell me what happened to them? I know there used to be a blue loco parked in the back by the N&E loco. I know that blue one was sold (I can't remember what type of loco it was).
The blue engine was not sold; It was returned to it's owner. And 1846 and the other engine were sold to a salvage company for scrapping and no longer exist.

77 still remains on the property, 76 was sold but not sure at the current time if scrapped.

77 at this time is also gone.
why was 2546 there, was it with a freight?
I love the horn...too bad modern diesel horns can't sound this good.
Can see the engineer blow the horn at 15:26
Yes, only 7 exist and I believe only 3 run. Only 1 MONON BL-2 exists, and it is this one (32).
