The A&M is no longer going to be All ALCO

[ironeagle2006]

Heard via a friend that Arkansas and Missouri has Bought 3 SD70ACes for use on that railroad. Looks like another all ALCO haven is Dead now. Get your Pictures while you can of the road Frieghts being pulled by all ALCO consists as they are going to be a thing of the past.

Gee, you'd think they'd go for Gevo's before SD70ACe's.

Take photos of those SD70ACe's.

Fifty years from now they will be as rare as an ALCo now.

I doubt any SD70ACe's are around in 50 years.

Maybe they wanted to stick with the polluting fuel hog choice.

Well I contacted a friend of mine who works there and he said the employees were under the impression they were getting GE's. It's a wait and see thing now.

Not really a "wait and see thing", it was confirmed by the A&M chairman to Trains Magazine for its News Wire. The new units are indeed SD70ACe's and are former EMDX demo units #1201-1203. The units are currently being prepped at the Progress Rail shops in Mayfield,KY.
