I'm always impressed with other members photo contributions and this week Deano has inspired me to create my WPF effort---Canadian Alcos.In Canada the Montreal Locomotive Works partnered with the US ALCO Company to build ALCO designed locomotives in Canada---here's some examples of the RS3,FA2 and RS10 Canadian built Alcos.

Excellent examples of Alco's there Ed! Worship

Thank you for the info on Canadian made Alco' s too!

Thanks Deano---I received some further info. regarding the ALCO/MLW arrangement:

[color=var(--primary-text)]Not exactly, MLW was owned by ALCO. It was purchased in 1901. In later years ALCo sold shares of MLW off to others but still maintained a stake. When Worthington purchased ALCO in the 60's they also picked up the shares in MLW and increased its ownership in MLW. When ALCO shut down in 1969 Worthington kept MLW going due to its strong sales in Canada plus GE was no sales threat here yet. However when sales started to decrease against GMD, Worthington sold it off to Bombardier.[/color]

Great photos of those ALCO’s.

Continuing the unplanned ALCO theme here are my Atlas Jersey Central RSD-4/5 locos hauling the most recently completed weathered cars.
