Nostalgia & History > As the Centuries (C420's) Go By...Date: 07/23/16 07:57 As the Centuries (C420's) Go By... Author: YukonYeti It's been a while so I thought I would dust off the scanner and run another theme thread...In this series, we will take a look back at the best selling of the Alco Century series units, the C420. I don't have all of the operators/orderers but I am close.On that note, thanks for looking and have a good weekend..
