William, those ancient Alcos just keep on truckin'!! This C420 has probably had numerous owners before. Remarkable photo!!! The MP15T's a youngster, compared to the super oldie M.U'd to it!!!

Thanks Ron, Birmingham is a big attraction for odd switchers & railroads passing through, which is fine with me. I've seen some unbelievable oddball power coming through on their way to different locations all over the U.S.

Yes, it was built for the Long Island as their #207. I hear its "ailing" and up for sale. Nice catch, William!

I think the fact that it was in greater Birmingham was it's curtain call. While I can't find anything on Google, a friend told me today that it was scrapped about a year ago, and it's frame was / will be used for a future project. Based on this location, I'm going to speculate it may have been scrapped at Progress Rail in Albertville, AL.
