Posted by John Higginson on June 8, 2013  Fearsome yet classy locomotive. Thanks for posting Ron. Posted by David Doty Sr. on June 9, 2013  Now that is a beautiful piece of American engineering. I just love those old Alcos. Thanks Ron for the photo and for the history lesson. Posted by Marty Bernard on June 9, 2013  Thanks Ron for the extended caption. Puts the photo in context. Posted by Bill Blais on June 9, 2013  Thank you very much Ron. I don't recall ever seeing a picture of these Southern PA's before. Excellent photo and write up. Posted by thefarmersson on June 12, 2013  I agree with the above comment. I also have never before seen a pic of a Southern PA-2. Ever since I was a small lad and my dad gave me his Lionel set of the Texas Special ALCO set 1055, I have been an huge ALCO fan. I like all trains, but good old American Iron is the best!! Thanks for posting this rare photo!
