I have been a strong fan of the Tennesse Central which was all Alco since the 50's. And like you, as a result of the TC's dependence on Alco power, I have always preferred the Alco RS-3, RS-32 and FA and FB designs versus GM. <br />My question to you is that the TC always ran every Alco lashup elephant style. I have never able to understand what the preference for this running set-up was as the Lehigh and New England, also all Alco, ran normal and elephant style lash-ups. <br />Was there any advantage to running Alco's elephant style?
