All Alco
Title:  All Alco
Description:  In a few years, the GB&W would be taken over by Wisconsin Central, which itself would become part of CN. Meanwhile, the roster was all Alco. I wish I could have spent more time here seeing this interesting operation. For today, Im happy I was able to get #2 at the yard with a great power set.
