Picked up on the Atlas Trainboard - Hill AFB

Loved the shots of the EMD switcher with the center section removed. I wonder if it's a slug or just being moved for repairs.

Actually, its even better, its an old Alco switcher, of which there are far fewer around.

I know for many years there was an alco switcher like that at the earle naval weapons station here in New Jersey, but i'm not sure if that was one of theirs. understandably, few people get a good look at what goes on in earle.

the switcher used to get loaned for excursion trips, so it would show up in public view on occaision.

the article wasn't kidding when they said OLD trains. except for a few new looking swicher in the background, those locomotives were all "transition era". The military is a good place to find old trains i bet. I wonder if they scrap them or offer them to mueseums?
