Nostalgia & History > Some Alco action for MoP MondayDate: 03/30/20 13:57 Some Alco action for MoP Monday Author: cewherry Well, mostly Alco with some EMD help. Here's re-engined MoP 1083 at Santa Fe's Argentine Yard
shoving its transfer caboose to a hook on a drag to take back to home rails. November 1, 1968. Question for you Argentine pros: Since he's shoving westward here and the caboose will be on the east end of its train, did the power run around the track and shove out of the yard? I didn't stick around to watch their departure. Charlie  Date: 03/30/20 14:43 Re: Some Alco action for MoP Monday Author: SvenMolson An EMD trapped in an Alco body. I wonder how it identifies..
Sven Date: 03/30/20 15:00 Re: Some Alco action for MoP Monday Author: KCRW287 I think the MOP crew will have the caboose on the west end of their drag, and have their engine leading back to Neff, it is a long way from Argentine to Neff for a shoving movement. Mop crews were always going after OT, so any extra moves were icing on the cake. I can't remember ever seeing transfers getting shoved on the KCT, it did probably did happen, but I don't recall any.

Oh yeah - the engine is certainly interesting. Gary |
