The Morristown & Erie Railroad got rid of their C-430 units. Both are now with the new Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad. Four ex CP Rail MLW C-424 were added to the M&E roster. M&E still rosters their longtime ALCo C-424 workhorses 18 and 19. M&E acquired from the bankrupt LTV Steel Mining rail operation ten ALCo RS-11 which arrived in summer/fall 2003. Not all will return to service. Nine are currently (Oct. 03) stored at Lake Jct., the 7216 is stored at Morristown.

| Ex-LTV Steel Mining 7216 is stored near the M&E shops at
Morristown, October 6th, 2003. It lacks a few parts. It is going to be
used for parts to get C-424 no. 4240 running, hopefully. M&E also
got a crane and a Jordan spreader from LTV. Rolf Stumpf photo Photos of the storage lines at Lake Jct are here |

C-424 no. 21 is an ex-CP Rail C-424. Morristown, October 6th, 2003.
In the shed you see the rear end of ex CPR 4228. It was repainted in an
altered M&E livery which the 21 is still to get. Rolf Stumpf photo |
