The Belvidere and Delaware River Railroad: A Saturday With Susquehanna

Saturday, June 29th, 2013:
142 is an SY class 2-8-2 'mikado' built in 1989 by the Tangshan Locomotive Works, and has been running on the Bel-Del since 2003. With special permission from the railroad, we were able to get shots of 142 under the I-78 bridge and the Kilns. We did NOT tresspass in order to obtain this footage. We also see her at Carpentersville, the 2nd road crossing along River Road, running alongside River Road, and backing up at the current end of the line at Pincher's Point. 1.6 miles to go til they reach their goal of Riegelsville, NJ. 142 put on a fantastic show for us. I thank the Delaware River Railroad Excursions for accommodating us, as well as koasterkidd for the ride up. Enjoy folks!

Awesome job, Bobby! I still envy you for that shot under I-78

Discontinued passenger operations. All the equipment was sold to the NYS&WT&HS, which operates the Bel-Del excursions.

I love SYs, but I prefer the locomotive with original Chinese livery!

If she’s a Chinese steam locomotive, how exactly were they able to ship her all the way to the United States?
