The Lowville And Beaver River Railroad was one of the longest operating Short Lines in America, opening in 1906.  The Genesse Valley Transportation Company, owners of the MA&N purchased the line and ran it until Wednesday, January 24, 2007. Here is LBR GE-44-tonner 1951 in Lowville on 12/12/98. The LBR named their engines by the year they were built. This engine was from the former Skaneateles Shortline in the Fingerlakes Region of NY.

Here's a great shot of 44 Tonner 1947. Once again, aquired by the LBR in 1947. Here she is at Beaver Falls on 10/10/1983
