Last ALCO PA and Trainmaster dispositions

  by RGlueck
 
THe ALCO PA and FM Trainmasters were traded to EMD in 1969, and from there to PECO, who under contract with EMD, was required to reduce everything to scrap. The final unit of both classes were not dispatched with the herd, but sat dead in retirement at Hornell for quite awhile. Anyone get pictures or have specific information about these two orphans? I believe they were covered in EX2200S at the time, with railfans hoping they'd been put aside for preservation. They were not.
