While far from a D&H PA, I still liked this retro attempt when the first photos of this loco were posted in Trains Magazine many years ago. In November 1993, John Sesonske took this great picture of the former CN 6777 and VIA 6777 . "Mr. Alco", George W. Hockaday was working on the Ontario Midland at this point and either owned this engine or was in charge of its rebuild. Unfortunately it was never lettered for the D&H. It ran on several Ontario Midland excursions before moving to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad as their 6777. They then repainted it to their livery.
