It was all Gibson Collection photography, and it was a blast to edit and write up. Do a TO search over my screen name for "Motoring across Missouri" and it should get you all 4 parts. Lots of motorcar action to be seen...

Thanks! Gonut Date: 04/04/24 08:38 Re: GM&O Alcos 1967 Author: Notch7 Most excellent vintage shot. I love seeing the engineer on the ALCO with his rear door latched open. The door catch was built into the side of the short hood. Engineers had to be a little careful with the rear cab door latched open. A hard coupling could unseat an unprepared engineer and send him through the open doorway.
