If I am right the Alco is now at the Arkansas Railroad Museum at Pine Bluff. I will see about getting a pic here in this thread.

The following Alco was built in 1961 for Southern Pacific as number 7012. After leaving SP it went to other railroads before going to the West Tennessee Railroad. It is now on display at the Arkansas Railroad Museum in Pine Bluff.


Well I am not having much luck getting the pic in here. So follow the link to see it.



I am sorry the pic isn't better. There just isn't much room to manuever in the museum to take a good pic. This will just have to do.

Special thanks to Mikey Gaw for the WebSite and help. [;)]
