1351:"The Warwick" - Was a 6-axle coach, ex NYO&W that was stored in Arcade, before the railroad acquired Dunlop Tire fireless cooker #1 (now on display at Curriers depot). It was then called the "Grover Cleveland car", touting its fame as a presidential Honeymoon car. The coach was purchased after initial storage, and moved behind M&T bank, opposite side of the #110 display is now (on the old coal track). It arrived in O&W colors, but was repainted into a very nice green with gold/yellow trim and lettering. That siding was eventually removed to make way for more downtown parking, and it was moved behind the KR Wilson building, next to the coach runaround. The coach was actually moved back to the shop every off season, but eventually was left by KR Wilson,the track switch having been removed. The coach fell victim to vandalism after many decades of being in Arcade, and by 2004 it was moved from A&A and began being restored in a museum in Franklin, NY, where it resides today. The claims of it being Cleveland's honeymoon car have fallen to much speculation over the years, as the cars actual build date was 1889 and the aforementioned president was married in 1886. It appears he may have used the car on a simple trip on the NYO&W, but the true facts, and origin of it being his honeymoon car have been lost to history. Interestingly enough, there are some internal documents that refer to using it for "Directors Specials", if only for a few instances. This is referenced on the Souvenir vinyl record jacket, wherein it mentions said Directors Special. According to the jacket, the Warwick was pulled by #18 while #14 handled the regular train for that day. 1219:) - purchased in 2023 to replace the center cab locomotives. This locomotive has officially taken over freight duties,leaving the Centercabs with Excursion service. 406 was originally built for the Delaware & Hudson Railroad as RS3 #4112, until it was modified in the 70's by MK to become a "chop-nose" RS3m, also nicknamed a "Clubfoot". It was renumbered to #1976 and given a bicentennial paint job, which it held through its tenure on its next railroad, the Tioga Central,although having now left the D&H numbered as 506, not 1976. From the Tioga Central, it was sold to Western New York & Pennsylvania who renumbered it #406, and repainted it in 2017 into their yellow/black livery. It arrived in 2023 running under its own power from Olean to Machias to Arcade, swapping WNYP and B&P crews at Machias. This is the second Alco Diesel to call Arcade home, as during the 90's the WNYRHS stored South Buffalo #77 in Arcade, though it didn't see any active service. As of October 5, 2023 the acquisition of this diesel has facilitated an addition to the shop structure, extending the center and right bays to contain the Alco, as well as offer space for shopping the coaches. Around this same time, the locomotive was renumbered to #114 officially, and sports a unique A&A crest which has never been used on equipment before. 995:
Maple Run (Sponsored by Charlotte House) which takes riders all the way to the mill at North Java, Murder Mysteries,Train Robberies and World War 2 weekends, which offer unique and interactive experiences. They also offer alcohol themed evening runs on certain weekends (Adults only, obviously.)There has also been a train for the Winterfest town celebration, a low mileage 20-30 minute run with the coaches to the Arcade Junction and back to the Depot. In addition to this, the A&A is usually always able to accommodate special Charter runs, such as the 2023 'Centercab Charter' which functioned as a send-off to the Centercabs retiring from freight with the arrival of RS3m #406/#114.
1015: 1348:"Ed Lewis' Baggage Car" Not a terrible lot is remembered about this 6-axle baggage car, but it was owned by Edward Lewis, and was the namesake for his publishing company "The Baggage Car". From what is remembered, it was placed next to the Arcade engine sheds, and was planned to be filled with railroad memorabilia. Several photos do exist in private collections, showing it at the Park St freight house siding and also in front of the shop. It is unclear how long it remained in Arcade,and just as unclear, is its heritage, presumed to be either ex B&O or C&O. 1128:) - Built in 1941 by General Electric as one of the first 13 44ton units, at its Erie, Pennsylvania plant, #110 is considered to have 'dieselized' the A&A single-handedly; now on static display in the municipal parking lot across Main Street from the Arcade station. This unit was featured in a General Electric advertisement promoting the locomotive design, and was delivered in the now iconic "Classic Arcade" paint scheme. After the wreck of 1947, it returned from overhaul with a black-colored skirt under the cab (as opposed to the factory orange). 963: 1081: 1174: 1104: 1159: 1316:
shadows. These cars were disliked by Borden staff by comparison to the earlier PS-1 types, as the doors were much narrower. A handful of these boxcars do survive, and one of significance (#522) was turned into a MoW flatbed with a tool chest in the 70's, before having said tool chest removed and being turned into a full flatcar. #522 was scrapped around 2009, however a cut out section from the original modification survives as a forklift shed next to the shops.Some lettering can still be made out in 2023.
1131: 314: 999: 942:. The diesel was more dependable and much less expensive to operate than the steam locomotives. Many people credit the diesel for preventing the A&A from going bankrupt in 1941. The Arcade and Attica operated a passenger service until 1951 when the Erie stopped providing a service on the Buffalo-Hornell line, including the connection with the A&A in Attica. In 1957, the line was abandoned between Attica and North Java because of severe washouts in the spring of that year. 1038: 1078:#14 tender was sold to a museum for use as static display behind a similar B&O steam engine. Arcade & Attica had a replica built, which now awaits #18 to return to service. There is consideration made for the future, however. Several years ago the railroad purchased the tender of Gettysburg Railroad 76 and has cited interest in using that behind either #14 or #18, so both engines could both be in service at the same time, should they ever have the funding to do so. 1199: 1050: 1116: 1180:#112 was repainted into "Classic Arcade" paint in 2002, and has remained in that paint since. As of 2023 this unit has been retired to passenger excursion use only, typically in the Christmas season when ARA runs two trains simultaneously. Some iconic notes to look for when identifying #112 is the roof location of the M5 horn (which was on the front hood early after its 2002 repaint, but moved some point after),and the non-functional roof flasher-light. 1487: 612: 1308:
at Reisdorf's, and two more are used for storage at the Arcade shops, plus the aforementioned one (#411) included in the downtown Arcade display. These were considered old and outdated when purchased in 1967, and were quickly replaced with the #500 series, but they did make their way across the states. The true in service livery is different then the display #411, being more red-orange and having lettering more spaced out in a different font.
1147: 638: 121: 473: 1171:) - Built in 1945 by General Electric at its Erie, Pennsylvania, plant, for the United States Navy. After used in the Navy 112 went out to Colorado for switching work before being acquired by the ARA in 1988. Originally arriving in a yellow/red livery with "City of Colorado Springs", the lettering was switched over to large "ARCADE" and "ATTICA" text on each hood, respectively. This scheme is referred to as the "Sunflower" scheme. 619: 517: 223: 25: 684: 605: 495: 645: 539: 583: 561: 1473: 1071: 66: 1068:) - Built in February 1917 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; currently in storage as it requires a very expensive overhaul to comply with federal safety standards.

When #111 arrived, #6 was officially retired. Due to the Ann Arbor railroad already using the reporting mark AARR, it did cause occasional confusion. ARA was chosen as the new Interchange mark in 1967, with the acquisition of the #400 series boxcars. In the steam era, Arcade's equipment all had
