After faithfully serving the Arcade & Attica for several decades, General Electric 44-ton Centercab No.110 now serves the railroad in a third venue. Purchased in 1941, the engine nearly dieselized the line single-handedly. Wrecked in 1947, the railroad purchased No.111 as a backup, and re-steamed with the sole remaining steam engine, No.6 while No. 110 was returned to GE-Erie for repairs. After retirement in the early 90's she became a spare parts supply for No.111, including the donation of a complete motor/generator "gen-set", as well as a few air brake parts to 2-8-0 No.18. Today, she serves as a public relations tool, owned by the Friends of the A&A. Along with a vintage boxcar and caboose, they stand as a silent tribute to the nearly 130-year history of the Arcade & Attica Railroad
