NDC C-420 #2034: "Uphill Struggle" 8/16/2010

On August 16th 2010 Jimbo2317 productions managed to capture NDC C-420 #2034 the "Blue Ox" out drilling cars in the yard in Northampton, Pa. The vintage ALCO can be seen returning with 4 cars and then picking up about 20. While returning to the plant the Blue OX stuggles with the tonnage as the hoppers are all loaded with rock salt. The old girl sounds awesome as she rolls past the camera...if your an ALCO fan then turn up the volume!

So nice to have this right in my back yard. Although greasers would be nice. I agree with the above post. I can hear it in Coplay!

So awsome to have Alco smoke right in my back yard! Great vid. I agree with the above though. Greasers would be nice. I can hear it all the way in Coplay!
