Danby Station August 31, 1951. House known as “The Beehive” because of all the activity that took place there, can be seen in the background.
Another photo of #200 in a different location. #200 was the Alco Demonstrator which the Rutland liked and bought. The Alco colors were green and yellow with a big Alco/GE logo in the middle of the long hood and a horizontal yellow stripe. The Rutland replaced the logo with RUTLAND and added 200 in the yellow stripe. It ran that way for a while until they adopted the chevrons on the ends, perhaps when the other units arrived on the property.
