An incredible locomotive geared for up to 116 MPH. They show up out here frequently on special trains for their big coal customers. Usually don't get much past 75 PMH but we know what they are capable of if pulled out to Run 8.

Probably my favorite passenger locomotive...Just so classy and still maintained in showrtoom condition.

I have some great shots of the ALCO PA's belching smoke to high heaven. They were nice in their own right but couldn't compare to an E-9.

Thanks for sending it along. I always hope to stand for these trains when they show up.
