Thanks Nigel, You Da Man!

It is the Alco C855, I was looking for.

But do you know if it only had that same sort of knose? Or was there a Wide style?

Thanks again, TYPAN...

Total Alco C855 production was 2 cabs and 1 booster. Cab model had a conventional nose only.
The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
