Always wanted to see an Alco, outside of a museum, and I got my chance! Formerly a Port Huron and Detroit and Coe Rail loco

the other one I got to write off my list is this. An ol fashon Canadian Cab. Was only really expecting to see an Alco, so seeing this with it was quite a treat! Formerly worked on the CN, before heading to the Yadkin Valley before it got the sister company Knoxville Locomotive Works took it over.

there was a third locomotive there, and boy was it a doozy! KXJR 863 is an SW1 that was built in 1940! for the Milwaukee Road. she also had stops at Chrome Crankshaft, J&J Railroad, the Hardin Southern, and now Knoxville.
