Locomotive Info: RS32 CNW 4242



Locomotive number: 4242
Road of Origin: Chicago and North Western
Prototype: American Locomotive Company v(ALCO) RS-32 CNW "4242"
Series: Walthers Trainman
Status: In Service (Test Engine - Regular Size)

The second locomotive added to the Riverside Railroad's locomotive fleet, this rare RS-32 has been much easier to keep in running, working order and as a result was chosen as one of the two still operating while the railroad continues its comprehensive overhaul. Of the two locomotives, #4242 serves as the test engine for clearances for all full-size locomotives for when the railroad reopens.

Note: Within the red circle of the CNW logo under the cab windows, it actually says 'Employee Owned' as per the prototype.
