Before It Was Famous
Many photos of Jersey Central RS3 1554 have appeared on this site as it serves the Delaware-Lackawanna. Here the 1953 Alco is in its original paint on the rails of new owner Black River and Western. A few months after this photo, the 1554 will be repainted in the CNJ “Red Baron” scheme, although I don’t think it was still a CNJ asset. After wearing two BR&W schemes, the RS3 will be acquired by the Hawk Mountain Chapter, NRHS, and returned to its original scheme in 1985.
