Program Notes

Arcade & Attica #18 is a 2-8-0 steam locomotive that was built in 1920 by the American Locomotive Company (Alco) at its Cooke Works in Paterson, New Jersey. It was originally built for a sugar mill in Cuba, which canceled its order. The locomotive was sold again in 1929 to the Boyne City Railroad of Boyne City, Michigan, where it was used in freight service between Boyne City to Boyne Falls. In 1962, the Arcade and Attica Railroad (A&A). Since then #18 has hauled passenger excursion trains between Arcade and Curriers, with occasional ventures to North Java on either passenger or freight trains.

At the close of the 2001 passenger excursion season, #18 went into the A&A's workshops for a complete teardown and overhaul to bring it into compliance with Federal Railroad Administration's new regulations, whence it emerged in 2008 after a six-year-long rebuilding program.
