Train #202 gets a new crew at the CSX East Tower in Grand Rapids, MI. Then as it departs, it goes into emergency and has to cut out a set of stacks. This gave me a chance to get up close for some ALCO detail on these two. Sadly, never saw either one again... On a happy note, the 4563 which was the worst looking one of the two, was saved from being scrapped and now on display at the Canadian Railway Museum in Quebec!

  • Emergency?

  • Yes, they lost the air in the train due to a kinked line in a well car, had to switch it out for repairs. Believe me, this was a 2 hour delay edited to 8 minutes................

  • I remember in the mid 90's, reading about these Alco's in trains magazine . St Luc shops, {hope that's right} in Canada and the sad story of the shop folks going through the Alco fleet seeing which locomotives still had life in them.

    Long live any ALCO !!!!

  • 4573 is a classy dame, still earning her keep in Western NY...

  • Very soon after this was shot. This may have even been their last run.

  • Oh, whoops, what a shame
