On July 29th and 30th 2017, the Catskill Mountain Railroad leased Viscose Company No. 6 to run the Catskill Mountain Flyer. No. 6 is an 0-4-0T built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1924 for the American Viscose Company, it was purchased by a private organization and restored to operational condition in the early 2000s, it is now leased to tourist railroads across the Northeast to run steam-powered excursions. While the Flyers passengers board the train, the crews of Viscose Company 6 and Catskill Mountain Railroad 42 ready their locomotives for a westbound departure from Westbrook Station in Kingston, New York. |
