Alco RS1's are rare. RS1's with steam generators are even more rare. Finding one idling away on the little Otter Valley RR in 1979 was just mind-boggling! Anyone know why it was there and what ever became of it? Proctor, Vt 1979. I would imagine the 'NIMX' is Naporano Iron & Metal, a well known scrapper of railroad equipment. This engine was definitely alive when I saw it!
