Nostalgia & History > Green River Steel Alco switcher Sep 05 1982Date: 09/02/15 07:24 Green River Steel Alco switcher Sep 05 1982 Author: krm152 Made the attached photo (through the fence) of #306 Alco switcher at Green River Steel in Owensboro, KY on Sep 05 1982. Believe the other Alco partially visible was #53. The company has since ceased operations and the site has been cleared.
