Bicentennial
Title:  Bicentennial
Description:  From a long time ago. The D&H had some RS 3s rebuilt in the early 70s, repainted 506 for the Bicentennial, and true to D&H form, never got around to painting it back into the lightning stripe the other 7 units were in. This one went to Tioga Central, where it still has this paint job, as far as I know. In 1989, it was at Owego, with a freshly painted coach and S 2. The S 2 is notable also, having been the Buffalo Creek Bicentennial unit, their 46-see comment below.

Description:  The photo freight did a runby near Flemingville with S 2 14, which performed as expacted-lots of smoke. It was quite a sound, too, with the chug of that old 539 and the whistle of the turbo.
