Happy Thanksgiving - A&BB
Author: refarkas

It is the late 1960's/early 1970's in Barberton, Ohio at the Akron and Barberton Belt engine facility. On the left is A&BB 28 (Baldwin S12) with A&BB 5408 (ex-PRR ALCO RS-3) behind it. To the right of A&BB 28 is N&W 2547 (ex-NKP ALCO RS-3).

Wow, what a catch - Baldwin and Alco.
That's a good one for Thanksgiving.

N&W #2547 certainly has an intimidating appearance.
Thanks for the Thanksgiving post.

While it is an almost identical photo, the N&W ALCO in mine has handrails on the front of the nose while the ALCO in yours doesn't have them. Still you posted a first-class black and white of a similar scene. Well done.

Way to capture a service track scene!  With all those extra accessories, N&W 2547 barely looks like an RS-3 from this angle.

I like the low angle on this, really shows off thiose "billboard" number boards on the Alco.
