Dear Kevin,
By your own admission, you have never even seen an Alco--you joined railroads after they had left, I might guess. So don't go bashing them. I know of many railroads which purchased Alco's of many types, and never regretted it. The PA might not have been the most reliable, but not all Alco diesels are alike: the RS-3 and RSC-2 were (and are) all locomotives which earned their keep, as was the Alco Century. So if you have never seen one, don't ba***hem.

Anyway:


. Yeah--right. Steamers
