In a 24 June 2009 post to the "Alcos for sale" string on this forum, "The Big Ham" posted a link to surplus govenrment property sale. The item in question was a "locomotive" -- from the photo and 1941 build date, an S1 -- "color: black", "brand: ALCO," and "model: F3062".
I don't recognize this model designation. It doesn't sound like anything I have ever heard of Alco using for its locomotives. Is it a U.S. Government code? Or what?
