| With a puff of smoke so prototypically Alco, this switcher with its mate rolls through what looks to be a forested, rural countryside. On the contrary, it is in the heart of Queens, NY. Built by Alco in 1946, this was a class AS-6 unit with the following specifics - 660 hp, B-B Blunt trucks, tractive effort of 29,200lb, engine weight of 199,900 lb, round exhaust, narrow radiators (non Turbo). No photographer was listed for this sharp photo - could be a John Krause photo. |
