Essex Terminal Railway #9

Standard 0-6-0 Alco Switcher Model S162

Built February 1923 at the Montreal Locomotive Works System, this little tugger is one of my favorite restored steam engines. Usually found working somewhere around Southern Ontario in the summer, I ride it when ever I get the chance.

Occasionally it will make a run to Delhi, Ontario, my hometown, on the remains of the Cayagua sub. The last few years it has not been able to make the trip due to health issues, hopefully it will be able to do it again this year.

The St. Thomas Central Railway maintains and operates this engine, along with a few others. Their website can be found here for more information…
