Photographing Big Alco/MLW's in PA

[UP 4-12-2]

Hi folks--

One time many years ago I did get to see the CP Rail big MLW M-630's and M-636's idling away at Buffalo, but that's the only time I've ever seen/heard live ALCO/MLW's of any kind.

I have a friend who is actually a really good photographer, and with fall coming we were planning to do a little railfanning in northern PA--but we don't want to sit all day to maybe see one train, either.

Can anyone offer insight regarding the current best opportunities to see big ALCO/MLW's in action on either Delaware-Lackawanna or WNY&P?  Which location(s) might allow us to see more action?

Also, would Monday or Friday be any better or worse than on the weekend?

Thanks--

John

I grew up within a stone's throw of CP's shortline back in the 70s and 80s and all I ever saw on that line back then was MLWs and the occasional GP30 and GP35. To my everlasing regret I did not take pictures.. CP liked to put alot of power on those trains...four or even five or six big MLWs on trains were not uncommon.
