Former Alco RS-1 locomotive is at the CSX yard in Cayce, SC. Johnson Railway Services has been providing locomotives to CMC Steel in Cayce, South Carolina. This old American Locomotive Company RS1 was built for the Washington Terminal Railroad in 1951 as WATC #63. It later worked as Carolina, Power & Light #63 and eventually ended up on the Johnson Railway roster. Johnson has rebuilt her with a Cummins prime mover. She sounds like a big rig!
The Washington Terminal Company (reporting mark WATC) is a corporation created in Washington, D.C., United States, to provide support to railroads using Washington's Union Station. It is now a nearly wholly owned subsidiary of Amtrak.
CMC Steel in Cayce has permission to come out of their steel mill and access the nearby CSX yard.
