A T 6 I have not seen before-it must have been down in Ft Smith-sits outside the Springdale shop. Note the different typeface used for the unit number. |

Rare unit, now an organ donor |
| Description: |
My wife had an appointment in Springdale recently, so while she was taking care of that, I drove over to the A&M to see what was up. This T 6 was outside the shop. There were only 55 of these built, 40 of them going to N&W. Arkansas & Missouri has four. Sad to see this one is no longer in service, but it will help keep the others running-see comment below. |

Sand on the Bentonville Branch |
| Description: |
The Monett Turn would often drop a T6 and sand hoppers at Rogers to work the Bentonville Branch. Here we see a T6 with a cut of hoppers heading toward Rogers and a connection to the main and Springdale. The T6 is doing what Alcos do best!! |

Working the branch |
| Description: |
I did not often catch a train on the Bentonville Branch, which leaves the main at Rogers, heading up to a cement plant near NWACC. T 6 #14 has a train of sand cars in tow as it heads back to Rogers and more local work. |

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 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. |
