I have a photo sent to me of an Alco PA that has only the number 900 on the front number board as a reference.
Does anyone know who this PA might have been for?
If you like I can send you the photo.
Email me off list if you like

Thanks

The only PA that I'm aware of with #900 is an export to Paulista Ry in Brazil, 5'3" gauge. These were the only export PA's.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

The photo is at Schenectedy (sp) and I think it is one of the demo engines. Unless this engine became one of the ATSF/D&H/ Mexican engine sDoyle McCormack is resurrecting it would most certainly have been scrapped.
