Location
  
271 Maywood Avenue, Maywood, New Jersey

New York, Susquehanna & Western Railroad ALCO Type S-2 Locomotive, is located in Maywood, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The locomotive was and added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 19, 2010. The locomotive is located adjacent to the Maywood Station Museum and is owned by the volunteer, 501(C)3 non-profit Maywood Station Historical Committee. In keeping with Susquehanna numbering practice, 206 (being even numbered) was MU-able to other locomotives. 206 last operated in early June 1985 before having a lube oil pressure failure that damaged it's 539 Macintosh and Seymore prime mover. As the Susquehanna was phasing out the last of the Alco's in the mid 80's (selling off or scrapping the remaining RS-1's and 3's) 206 was never repaired but was stored and retired in 1986 when it was decided to retire instead of repair.
