Western Railroad Discussion > Smokin'Date: 03/04/06 11:54 Smokin' Author: bnsfbob Smokin' it up on departure the only way an Alco (MLW) can. How many places are left in N. America where you can see Alco smoke on an everyday basis? Bob

Date: 03/04/06 12:21 Re: Smokin' Author: MysticHowler I think Morristown and Erie has some Alcos.
I know I can see Alcos here in Omaha on an everyday basis...on TV that is. I have the Pentrex "Those Incredible ALCos" series. Sean Tremblay Omaha NE Date: 03/04/06 12:46 Re: Smokin' Author: TPWman bnsfbob Wrote:

Yeah, but I don't think those McIntosh & Seymour engines in ALCO's S2's and S4's ever smoked like the pure ALCO 244 V-12's and V-16's did. Not that I recall anyway.
