Nostalgia & History > EL Alco deadline at Marion -- March 76Date: 06/25/17 14:16 EL Alco deadline at Marion -- March 76 Author: gcm An all Alco deadline on the west side of the Erie-Lackawanna yard in Marion,Oh.
Mostly RS3 units with a few S2 engines. The track at this point was getting a little ragged. Of course the telephoto lens exaggerates things a bit. I have pictures of some of the engines in the line and will have to dig those up. I may have posted this shot a number of years before. Gary Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/25/17 14:25 by gcm.

Although Frisco's 8th ave yard in Ft Worth got lots worse than that. And, the Feds shut it down
