Richard Samuels has aquired a number of very interesting locomotives, most of which are diesel switchers, over the years.
Not all of the locomotives that he's owned in the past are included here, but I've tried to include as many as I know about and have photos of.

If you have photos of any of these locomotives mentioned or others not mentioned that he current owns or has owned in the past and would like
to share them with the website, please
email me.

The following websites also list related roster photos of the OPR's related, past and present equipment:
