Seeing Double | Two Rare Alco RS32s Grace the Falls Road

[@williamsquires3070]

Nice to see the two gals still pulling revenue freight. 💙

Outstanding video Matt. I like the sound of the Alco RS32 including the horn. All good scenes with excellent camera angles.The scene at Central Ave in Gasport with the old building was very cool as the freight rolls by. The switch crew setting out the Railbox car was a nice one as well. Thanks and well done Matt.👍🏻

[@mattygunn693]

Thanks a lot!

[@jtetra]

The sound and sights of these old alcos will never get old and that horn to boot!

[@scottleidenberger4401]

Listen with head phones if you have not already done so. It's awesome !

[@scottleidenberger4401]

Awesome video ! Switching never gets old with those Alco's.

[@mattygunn693]

Thank you!

[@JamesParker-jb8rp]

Beautiful! Been around since Alcos roamed the Erie Lackawanna!

[@mattygunn693]

Better days back then I'm sure!

[@brandonreeves5979]

Man nice catch! I know I sound like a busted record but I love the sound of those Alcos.

[@mattygunn693]

Thanks man, and I'm with you on that one! It's nice to know such rarities as these old Alcos are practically in my backyard!

Who would believe that a Former New York Central RS-32 and a Former Southern Pacific RS-32 would lock couplers more than 60 years after they were built ?

[@tHazza2745]

I'm assuming they are putting tank cars on to the transload track out the back, and using one of the alcos engine off as a buffer because the tanks have hazardous placards?

[@Steve-xf4uv]

Only thing better than the Alco sound is two hooked together. Curious; what did that guy do at 2:39 beside the first loco ?

[@mattygunn693]

He measured the bottom step. He's the mechanic that's repairing 1802.

@@mattygunn693 Very cool. Hope she will be back this summer for my little excursion railfanning. Thanks.

[@briank.8925]

Driving by I wondered why #2035 was sitting outside. Now I know it was #2002, and they're decorated differently so now I can tell them apart without being close enough to see the numbers.

[@mattygunn693]

1804 will be arriving tonight too!

[@Watertender-lu7vj]

Neal is in his glory! 2 RS32's to play with! Is 2002 going to stay on the Falls Road?

[@mattygunn693]

Yep, and DLWR 1804 will be delivered Thursday night too. All four (1802, 2035, 2002, 1804) are staying.

@@Joe-d7m6k An increase in traffic is coming soon, Tropicana from Florida going to Lineage Logistics in Brockport. The extra power will help with that.

[@AlcoFlower]

@@mattygunn693 I was curious to know what the plan was...

[@scottlindquist8417]

Great job Matty! Was the 2002 under power, I wasn’t sure?🇺🇸

[@mattygunn693]

Thank you! 2002 was not under power, it was just along for the ride until they set it out on the shop track.

[@albrooks4989]

I never saw any indication that 2nd unit ever was running

[@mattygunn693]

That's because it wasn't.

[@benjaminl3084]

Where did the spur in the end used to serve?

[@claytonkillenbeck1102]

That was for the old Owens Illinois plant.

[@mattygunn693]

Yep, what Clayton said! The building can be seen at the 32:15 mark. GVT is trying to acquire it to turn it into a second engine house.
