it would've been awesome if ALCO had survived because the EPA would be going nuts!

I love the thick black smoke from these. Everytime they notch up on the throttle an endangered speices dies out.

whenever they had time or werent on too big of a time crunch. I live a couple hundred feet from a crossing on their lafayette line. i took pictures of their alcos for months and finally they asked if i wanted a ride. i was 12 or 13, so whats the harm? youd be nuts to turn it down.

they let u ride whenever?

Im by the klondike road crossing and balls siding. I have albums full of the alcos making trips to downtown lafayette. I got several rides in the 315 (alco c420) and the 308. I was 12-13 at the time and am 21 now. Thanks for posting this video, brings back memories!

What roads originally owned the Alcos?
TheZeke1974 1 year ago
@TheZeke1974 The RS-11's seen in the video are ex-NW and NKP. You can tell the ex-NW units by the boxy covers over the air filters at the top of the long hood. The C420 seen briefly at the start of the vid is ex-L&N

How fast was that double-headed grain train going? Also, was he running on the ex-N&W Peoria District?
ma7799 2 years ago
He was running about 30 mph on the line from Cheneyville to Danville, not sure if this is Peoria District or not.

If he was running to Danville, then it must have been the ex-Milwaukee Road. Was Handy Tower that was still standing?
ma7799 2 years ago
Yes, Handy tower was still standing when I shot this video. The diamond was in, but the Conrail track was torn out right up to it.
