Nostalgia & History > What's Big and Yellow and Made by Alco?Date: 12/01/05 09:36 What's Big and Yellow and Made by Alco? Author: CNW8531 A C&NW C-628, of course! Here's a roster shot of the #6719 in it's new Zito lemon yellow dress at Escanaba, Michagan in July of 1984.

Nice as always. People forget the C&NW had ALCOS late into the mid 1980's. MILW86A Date: 12/01/05 17:19 Re: What's Big and Yellow and Made by Alco? Author: CNW8531 Never did get to run an Alco. I would have liked to though! They just never got down this way, at least never when I was working.

By the time I got serious about railfanning, Alco's were on the way out. By the time I started working on the railroad they were all but gone.
