Viewing Album:  A Visit To Scranton, The Alco City.
 
By:Nicholas Dixon
Dates:5/25/2023 - 5/25/2023
Album Info:While Scranton's nickname is "The Electric City", it should really be nicknamed "The Alco City" these days. While en route to Orbisonia, I decided to make a swing by Scranton to see Delaware-Lackawanna's newly-acquired Alco PA-4u, I got a bonus in the form of a ton of Alco power shuffling around the yard in Scranton.

DL 190
Title:  DL 190
Description:  I'll be honest, I figured I'd never get a chance to see an Alco PA in the flesh, since both of them were out west. I'm glad to be proven wrong, and the #190 looks terrific.
