In the fall of 2024, after a 7-year absence, the Arcade & Attica Railroad in western New York state finally welcomed the pride and joy of their fleet back to life, steam locomotive #18. Following the completion of a long and thorough rebuild, #18 was back in service just in time for the busy fall foliage season, and the classy Consolidation's return to action re-establishes the A&A's prolific title as New York's one and only steam-powered railroad! The Arcade & Attica has changed little since the early 1960s, operating with much of the exact same equipment that got the short line into the steam railroading business, and a visit here in itself is like stepping straight into the early tourist era of rail preservation. Over the course of two different October days, we were on hand to document #18 as she hauled sold-out trains over the railroad’s regular excursion route between Arcade and Curriers, NY. She looks factory fresh and beautiful as ever, and puts on quite a show as she travels through the rolling countryside of Wyoming County amidst the steadily changing fall colors. We cover an entire day's worth of operations, from coupling onto the coaches at the Arcade Depot, to the exciting departure out of town and the 7-mile run to Curriers. After watching #18 run around her train, we'll follow her back to Arcade as she leads her consist tender-first. The Arcade & Attica is certainly a hidden gem in the steam railroading world, and a visit here is more than worthwhile for both the railfan, and the traveling tourist! We would like to dedicate this video to all who gave their time, money and effort to restore #18 back to her former glory! #18 was built by Alco's Cooke Works in 1920, and was originally set for export to Cuba, where she would be used in the sugar cane fields that dot the country's rural areas. With fluctuations in world sugar markets decreasing on an international scale after the First World War, the demand for locomotives decreased as well and #18 would soon find a home in Michigan at Charcoal Iron Company on the Upper Peninsula. For a brief time, she also served the Newberry Lumber and Chemical Company, but in 1929, she would be sold to the Boyne City Railroad in Boyne City, MI, where the vast majority of her in-service career would be spent. For the next two decades, she would be used extensively in freight service on the railroad's route between Boyne City and Boyne Falls, where the BCR interchanged with the Pennsylvania Railroad. By 1950, the railroad had purchased its first diesel locomotive, with #18 being relegated to backup use, although she would remain stored serviceable. In 1962, the Arcade & Attica went in search of a steam locomotive to provide the power for their newly introduced tourist trains, and soon after, #18 was purchased, finding her way to her new home in upstate New York. She hauled the first steam-powered trains on the A&A in 22 years in the summer of 1962, and one year later would be joined by former Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad 4-6-0 #14. Since 1989, #18 has been the sole steam power on the Arcade & Attica, and remains the only operational steam locomotive in New York state. With her bright orange lettering, along with the matching orange and black coaches and larger than life personality, she has gained the affectionate nickname "The Goddess of Fire"! Enjoy!
