Post Your ALCO "FA" Cabs Photos

The ongoing ALCO FA News thread has inspired me to get the ball rolling on those ALCO FA cabs with the approval of the moderator. Time to get nostalgic !!!

#617 east of Wyandanch

#600 Looking fresh out of the paint shop.

#606 celebrating the retirement of LIRR conductor Jack Olsen

#608 coupled to the west end of train at LI City passenger station. It sports a unique, experimental color scheme. 6/1979 view NE Photo/Info: Dave Keller

The picture of #608 was of an experimental early-Gabreski era color scheme only used on that one unit. I liked this color scheme - but the trouble is that white is a tough color to keep clean on power units like this one. Info: Mike McEnaney

Note: Former Western Maryland #304

Anyone else?

I can see all the images. My gosh, other than the original paint schemes, those blue repaints were atrocities.

I get a small blue green square and when I click on it it states:

Advanced Cannonball that used to run on Thursdays. This is Eastbound just leaving PD tower.

Believe there's a glitch that affects some of the uploaded pics some get hit, others get thru. A bit weird, wonder if the site landed in a haunted server?

Yes, there's more !!!

I love this scheme, it reminds me of the New Haven units
