| Description: |
This was by far the coolest thing all day! To the person who changed this locomotive ID, none of the Oakways or this unit have X's in the reporting marks! If you listen to track warrants or trace an engine, they are EMD. Especially this one, which in the numberboard clearly reads : EMD 3. |

An ALCo C424, one of my favorite Alcos, leads sluggo with a cut of corn bound for the TC&W. Nice to see this old gem, now 42 years old. |
