We've all seen the many variations on the Alco C430 that Tyco has produced. Many are quite beautiful, although few if any depict an actual locomotive. Let's face it, C430s were rare beasts. They first appeared only a couple of years before Alco's demise, and only 16 were ever built. So it's incredible to find a pair of them working the yard in Meadville, Pa 56 years after they were built.

Awesome photos! Incredible to still see such old ALCO's still working on the rails.
