I find these photos very interesting. As a comparison, I will leave here some photos of world series ALCo locomotives at use in Australia. Most of these are at use today, but are all that is left of a class of 100 locos. Some are in museum service, some are still at work in commercial service, I hope these are of interest.

you are right Taso, I have seen her but I couldn't get any photos, the weeds were at breast height all around the fence when I was there, so I didn't try to get in
I really doubt that she will ever been operational again, most probably is kept to provide spares for the 302

Can we talk about those two compositions (on after the ALCO and the other in the siddings on the right) ? Could be seen a variety of material in Tasos' first picture...
