out of a total of 84 RS3's on the all-time D&H

Guilford years. D&H rostered a total of
Nineteen U33C's, some

says:
"At the Guilford takeover, 01/04/1984, the
D&H no longer owned the
U23B's, as they were transferred/sold to
MEC in June of 1983 for
operating funds. Also, on the takeover
date, D&H still showed
RS-3's 4075, 4085, 4099, 4103, 4118, and
4126 on the roster."
(thanks
Bill!)
RS3
4075:2
Thanks to Ralph V. Balfoort for the following information about D&H RS3's 4075 and 4082.
D&H rostered two different RS3's with number 4075, and two with number 4082!
"D&H 4075 and 4082 were traded to the B&M for their 1508 and 1536; the D&H needed two boiler-equipped units for Amtrak's return of Montreal service that used D&H equipment. For a time, the units were painted for the D&H, but carried their B&M numbers; they were later renumbered to replace the original D&H units. The ex-B&M units are easy to spot: 1508/4075 has frog eye number boards, and 1536/4082 has larger than standard hoodside number boards. Your website photo of 4075 is one of the ex-B&M units.

Thank you Ralph!
This photo:

shows the 4075:2 in Colonie on 8/20/1984. so she was
likely on the D&H
roster on Jan 1 1984
RS3
4099
in the Colonie dead line on 6/8/1984:
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1551277
RS3
4085
Bridge
Line HS
says 4085 was retired or sold in 1980.
photos
show
the 4085 belonging to the
ONER from 1981 to 1983.
Then
she did briefly return to the D&H. D&H
must have bought back
the 4085.
has
Guilford
data
that
says
on
01/04/1984, the 4085 was in service and
the
4126 was listed as "not available"..
RS3 4126
Bridge
Line HS
says the 4126 was sold or retired in
1982.
However this is likely incorrect, or perhaps she
was returned to
service (out of retirement) after 1982, because
other records show the
4126
was
sold
to
the
Albany Port Railroad (D&H was a 50%
owner) in
the 2nd quarter of 1982. The reason it
shows as "not available" is
because being a APRR unit, it was not
available for GTI service but was
still maintained at Colonie.
