Mario, Now that just makes my day. Love the sound of Alcos.
 

Weel, maybe I'm a priviledged kind of guy in wich Alco's are concerned, because form time to time I still can see units like this (it still exists, but today works for a track contractor, but the paint scheme has changed)

And some time ago I veen got a 'ride' in a station. Pity it was just a little bit of switching, because the good state of track (atested by the speed limit board saying '120', or in 'american parlance', 75 Mph), was just asking for a little 'run up' for 2 or 3 stations

Mario, you're amazing brother!  How do you find this stuff?

 

In this case youtube found it for me. When I opened it, it was 'sugested' to me, but sometimes I do some searching. I guess youtube is a big freind of mine in everything concerning trains

Greek railways MLW MX636's storming around some mountain grades. Basically an M series with a different aspect (it's an export version, and I know at least some 3 series of 'MX' MLW/BBD models, MX 620, MX627S and theses ones)
