Swing Her Around

The owner of Rhode Island's Seaview Transportation Company and sister tourist operation Newport and Narragansett Bay Railroad recently added to his expanding collection of center cab locomotives by purchasing two former US Navy units that had been long based at Portsmouth Navy Yard but were replaced in recent years by a car mover. They are both GE 65-tonners, USN 65-00308 and USN 65-00566, built in 1945 and 1943, respectively. The latter was trucked to the isolated trackage on Aquidneck Island where it will be used to pull the Grand Bellevue Dinner Train and other future expanded passenger operations. The former is seen here being unloaded in front of the Seaview's brand new enginehouse where it will join a former US Army 80-tonner cousin in freight service.
