Thatll do
Title:  Thatll do
Description:  During an August 1974 vacation, we stopped in Cooperstown, primarily to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame. While there, we also saw some of the other local attractions, one of which was the Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley, then mostly a tourist line run by Walter Rich in his pre NYSW days. This was the line he acquired after NY DOT bought out his segment of the ex NYC Ulster & Delaware in Oneonta, which became part of I 88. CACV 2 is coupled up to the excursion at Milford, and will be heading back to Cooperstown shortly.

Switching too
Title:  Switching too
Description:  Anyone who rode an NYSW excursion in the 1980s was all too familiar with the trains doing some local work along the way. Walter Rich was not about to waste a good crew on a simple passenger train. It apparently was a practice he started early. CACV 2 has worked a siding during its run around move at Milford and is now taking water.

Taking on water
Title:  Taking on water
Description:  Looks like with a garden hose. In the mid 1970s, especially at outlying locations such as Milford, which never had water tanks to begin with, getting water in a tender was an interesting prospect. The tender of CACV 2 is being filled with a hose from a nearby business. It took a while.

Description:  CACV 2 passes its train as it changes ends for the trip back to Cooperstown. A pair of D&H RS 3's are in the distance. I don't know if dad got a shot of them. I kind of doubt it, but something may yet turn up.
