We're doing our best to stop oil imports by returning to
STEAM!!!
With more than six
years of restoration
work behind us,
American Locomotive
Company (ALCo) 2-8-0
#18 returned to active
service...
MAY 24TH, 2008
Our passenger excursions are also powered by one of our two World War II era diesel-electric locomotives,which are also used weekly in our freight operations. Both engines were built by General Electric at their locomotive facility in Erie, PA. The 44-ton centercab No111 was built in 1947 and delivered new to the Arcade & Attica Railroad. No112 was built in 1945 and delivered to the United States Navy. The A&A purchased the engine from the City of Colorado Springs Railroad in 1988 to supplement the ailing engine No111. Today, No111 has been returned to full operation.
We're Ready .......
- Come Ride With Us -
"OLD #18 RETURNED TO SERVICE - MAY 24TH MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!! .

Nice new website!! I currently live on Perry Rd in North Java. I have been a life long fan of the A&A and plan on riding on the first trip for #18. I have many memories of the railroad and hope for many more with my son.

I haven\'t ridden your train yet, but it is one of the things I plan to do this year. I come from a railroad family, father & brothers all worked for NYCRR. Brothers still work for Conrail.

It's good to see that Old #18 is back in service. I grew up in Arcade and had two Uncles that worked for the A&A, both freight and excursion. My Uncle Don King was a mechanic in the Round House and helped keep the engines in order. My Uncle 'Bud' King was an engineer and is pictured in your literature. I have fond memories of the A&A. Uncle Bud once let me ride in the freight engine (not policy I\'m sure) on a delivery to the state prison in Attica. Quite a thrill for a young boy. I remember taking my BB gun for protection. What a hoot (no pun intended).

Maybe you should say something about JT since he has done so much for the train.

My family and I (including our Thomas fanatic 3 year old son) really enjoyed your fall foliage tour. It was a wonderful thing to do with our out of town family and the steam engine experience is beyond compare. Thank you so much!
