[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TARGUBRIGHT The Alco PA's. Not a lot were built, was it a good engine? Or did it too have some problems?? TIM A [/quote] Actually, TARGUBRIGHT, quite a few PAs were built 294 total in all versions. this locomotive was good, but problems with the 244 is what got them. Only 4 PAs survived however due to the fact that they ware rebuilt with 16-251s and later 12-251s. Two units survive in Mexico and are operational, but is doubtful that they will run again. Now as far as I know either 1 or both of the other 2 survivors have been purchesed by US interests for restoration. So we may one day see an operating PA in the US.
