To the best of my knowledge there is no advantage to running ALCo's elephant style, or for that matter, any locomotive. I think its just a strange preference of that RR, some other RRs with strange preferences were the N&W which specified high hoods on all of its locomotives until the mid 80s (although this was more of a saftey issue with the N&W), and the Southern Pacific which starting with the GP/SD7s ordered the full lighting package (both red and white ocilating lights) on ALL of its locomotives into the mid-to-late 80s. Although I may be wrong about this just being a preference, if anybody else could help us out here that would be great![:)][:D][8D]
