Above left: S2 #455 in original "as-delivered" black livery, gold lettering, small road numbers, and white pilot is switching a boxcar and a pole car at the old Whitestone Junction, on the Port Washington branch just east of the former 1939 NY World's Fair grounds on June 2, 1951. This view is looking SE from the old pedestrian overpass which was constructed for the fair, so visitors arriving by IRT trains could cross the LIRR tracks and access the entrance. Directly behind the photographer was the site of the old United Nations station, which was in service at the time this photo was taken. "JC" tower was once located inside the switch to the former Whitestone branch in the left background. By 1952, both the overpass and the United Nations station were history. (Will V.

ADM railcar repair took the loco, and painted it for use during
their safety campaign for the year, and is using it as the facility "billboard." The new road number is actually the street address of the building, it is parked in front of their facility in Decatur IL. The two SIRT Alcos to Downeast Scenic Railroad, Maine. It may be a tourist operation. (not confirmed) |
