Last non-D&H Pa's?
Author: SD80MACfan

What was the last railroad to use the Alco PA locomotives in regular service? We all know the story about the D&H being the last US railroad to run them, but what about before the D&H owned theirs?

Santa Fe last used theirs in freight service during the winter of 1968-69.

Some if not all of Southern's were parked by 1963. These were the final PAs built in late 1953.

Actually, when the D&H was done with the PAs, they leased them to the MBTA in Boston, where they pulled commuter trains for perhaps a year. It was while they were in use by the MBTA that they got sold to Mexico.

EL ran them in freight service pretty late. 

( and of course they ran after the D&H stopped using them, in commuter service on MBTA).

EL numbers were in the 850 to 863 block.

The D&H PA's lasted for years after the EL got rid of their PA's. In fact the D&H PA's lasted longer then the EL itself.
