ALS 0-8-0 #9 - Alton & Southern Rwy  Contributor's Pick!       
Here is an example of a 3 cylinder Alco built steam locomotive that served the Alton & Southern Rwy. Rare in the US, the 3 cylinder configuration flourished better in Europe. The original b&w photo is a poor quality due to its age and deterioration. The date listed is approximate. A. B. Jefferis name appears on the back.

Robert Beichler General Rare indeed!! Most of the 3 cyl. loco's in the books are 8 coupled or larger road engines. Very nice find. 12/10/2013 11:03:39 AM
