New power |
Description: |
New power for the A&M, first non Alco units owned by the railroad, are several SD70ACes. Three were at Springdale on Sep 21, one of which was visible from the street. Heres A&M 71 in the best view available. Several Alcos were parked nearby, including 66, which has had its air filter removed. I gotta admit, the new scheme looks good. |

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. |

Never thought Id see one of these like this |
Description: |
The Belt Railway of Chicago had a half dozen of these C 424s, several of which wound up on the A&M as parts sources. Imagine my surprise when I rolled past the shop to find this unit, not only intact, but in good paint. Looks like its ready to head out from Clearing any mnment. |

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. |
