The Delaware River & Western is a shotline railroad operating in SE Pennsylvania. The DR&W operates both freight and tourist passenger trains. In terms of motive power, the DR&W is primarily an all-Alco road but also owns three CF7 locomotives and five steam locomotives, two operable and in service, one stored serviceable and two Out of Service. The steam locomotives are primarily used as power for the tourist trains, but have also been used to move freight on rare occassions. <br /> <br />The DR&W also stores various equipment owned by Railroad Historical Societies: stored are two fully restored and operational Lehigh Valley locomotives - a U23B and a GP38-2, both in full LV dress. In return for donating storage space, the DR&W is permitted to operate both locomotives any time the need arises. <br /> <br />The DR&W is also in negotiations to purchase a FM H-24-66 it located for its own use on the heavy quarry trains it operates during the summer in addition to its regular freight business. The railroad does plan to use it in passenger service as well, as it should be a big draw to the railfan community.
