A few engines at the SP Hardy St Shops in Houston.
1219 and 1249 were Alco S6 switchers.

Considering how rare ALCO S-6 switchers are, getting two makes this an even better catch.

The two S-6's were a very nice find, and you made a nice photo presentation of these units.
Thanks for your excellent photo posting.
