Features:

Centercab Centuryby Gordon Lloyd Jr. — Alco thought its C-415 answered the need for a powerful next-generation yard switcher, but there were few takers for the unique centercab design.

Alco Barbecue by the Bayby C.N. Southwell — An amazing series of events led to an exclusive day of shooting Alco switchers on the San Francisco Bay Railroad.

Dixie Line Alcosby Garland McKee — Eastern Kentucky in the 1970s was a hotbed of Alco action on the coal branches of Louisville & Nashville Railroad.

“Rembrandt’s” Alcoby Jim Rowland — While they weren’t scheduled for Conrail paint, at least one ex-Lehigh & Hudson River C-420 met the artist’s brush.

Minnesota Commercialby Nick Benson — Although General Electric power has made inroads, Alcos still can be found working around the Twin Cities.
