the first of 4 of the Durango and Silverton's new diesel locomotives that were purchased from the white pass and yukon Arrived in Durango Colorado on the afternoon of wednesday august 19 2020! This Locomotive is an AlCO class 101. I found out about it this morning and went to see it it is currently on its trailer in the D&SNGRR's parking lot next to Mc Donalds. This locomotive was built at AlCO's Montréal Locomotive Works In 1969. I can't wait to see these running! here is a link to my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIpecQL9dwE&lc=UgxoxADfFVuW_ZS3yhl4AaABAg

Although I like the current scheme, I'd be very interested to see what they paint them in if they decide to change it.
