Back at the shop |
Description: |
T 6 18 is on the shop tracks at Springdale awaiting attention. Almost ten years from now, I will see it working the Springdale yard. Only 55 of these units were sold in the us, with N&W getting 40. They were produced between March 1958 and January 1969, with a gap from 1959-1964 when none were built. The fact that it is still with us is in itself remarkable, not to mention working daily almost a half century after Alco quit. |

A&M 18 |
Description: |
A&M 18 sits in a line of locomotives at the Springdale shop. It appears to be serviceable, but 62 has been out of service for a long time, and 15 has parts missing, so perhaps not?? |

Rare Alcos |
Description: |
RS 1s were once failrly common, but at this point in history there are very few remaining. So it was a treat to find #20 sitting outside the shop. The T 6 was a modle that sold very few units, mostly to SP, PRR and N&W. Catching these two together was a trear. |

Help from our little friends |
Description: |
This T 6 was working on the Springdale Switcher when I came by last week. Good to see not only a switcher type-wish Id paid them more attention in the late 70s when they were still fairly common-but also a rare unit still in action. |
