Featured Vintage Alco Photos
Dave Willoughby took this great shot of San Diegans #77 and 78 meeting at San Diego. Thanks!
Here is the Alco demonstrator at Sagola, MN on the MILW, marching up Sagola
Hill at 5 mph. Don MacLaughlin (a GE guy) is looking for wheel slips,
but the unit is doing just fine, thank you! A wonderful shot
taken by Bill Battle. Thanks!

I photographed these Alcos on two of the many trips I took around the country in the 70's and 80's. Captions and more pictures in the Photo Gallery!
