A&A Consolidation #18

Arcade & Attica 2-8-0 #18 was built by the American Locomotive Company’s Cooke Works in Paterson, NJ in 1920. She sits on (8) 50″ drivers, has a boiler pressure of 175psi, and produces 28,400 lbs of tractive effort. Originally built for export to Cuba, she ended up being sold to a quarry in New Jersey. She was sold again to the Boyne City Railroad in 1929 and was used in freight service. In 1962, #18 was purchased along with 2 former DL&W booton commuter coaches for use on the Arcade & Attica railroad to haul passenger excursions between Arcade and Curriers, NY. Since then the railroad has acquired a 3rd boonton coach, as well as 3 boonton style combines. An open air gondola, now with a roof, is often used in the consist as well. As of today, #18 is down for a major overhaul, with an expected return to service in the near future.
