New Shop, New Toy

            Before the crowd arrived for the ribbon cutting ceremony I captured this image from inside the Seaview's new and not yet in service shop building as the morning sun reflected off the spotless paint still curing on the floor. 

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 parked as a display on the BB&S lead with some other historic equipment that is out of sight to the right.  It will soon join the Seaview's former US Army 80-tonner cousin, 1667, in freight service.
