Oneida & Western

[mysterytrain]

Since it's been a very LONGGGGGG time since I submitted an idea here, I'm going to toss in 3 suggestions for the old Oneida & Western R.R.

An SD40-2 engine, coal car, and caboose. Any of these would be a welcome to the sim world I'm sure.

Thanks for considering!

It looks like they had left-over pool paint!



Just kidding, these look nice.

No place to run them though.

Actually there is a route, Milepost Simulations Fraser and Cariboo Route. BC Rail which operated this line (now CN) bought the SD40-2s in the mid 80s after the Oneida & Western parted ways with them. Their green paint matched up nicely to BC Rail's two tone green for a few years before being painted in BC Rail's then new Red White and Blue paint scheme. The units spent most of their life as B units, trail only or in pusher service on the Pemberton push set which was at that time a set of four SD40-2s or Alco units. Neat video from 1990 after the units had been repainted showing this opertation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkz0N08o7Pk

I'd like to see some scenarios up there using them.
