Hee is the lineage of D&L 211 frm the Geneese Valley site. The D&L is one their railroads.

Go down to 211 and read note 3 for the lineage.

For the record, it’s “Delaware Lackawanna.” There’s no “and.”

Larry:

note3 from the above site:

3 #211 [2nd] - Ex-Tishomingo 211, exx-Delaware Valley 211, original SP 4002/7302. Acquired fall 2004.

Found this on the above linked site, I suspect it is a reason for the original POST?

"…#211 [1st] RS3m to Rochester Chapter, operational at their museum. This is an Alco RS3 with high short hood, re-engined at Conrail.'s Juniata Shop [8/79], was CR9920, CR5487, LV211[2nd], PC5569, PRR5569, original PRR8445. [Built Alco-GE, b/n 80580, b/d 12/53]…"

And additional lineage information is on the ‘NOTE’ section of the RailPictures site linked in Larry’s first response after that of Doublestack.
