The Creek In Corinth. On the afternoon of Sunday, May 29, 2022, Saratoga Corinth & Hudson Railway's Alco 5 stops by Sturdevant Creek in Corinth, New York. This engine, built in May 1947, was the plant switcher from the Schenectady Alco Locomotive plant. After Saratoga and North Creek Railroad’s hasty departure from the scene in 2018, the line was dormant until the previous weekend.

New York state has the largest number of ALCO diesel locomotives working in everyday service. Here are some of them. Soon I hope to chronicle all of them.
