ALCO RSD-15 - Trains Magazine

The ALCO RSD-15 is probaly the rareist diesel locomotive ever. How rare you ask? Ten are said to be static and will may never operate again, and three that are fully operational (One is undergoing restoration in Austin, Texas).
If you have read some of my fourms you may know how facinated I' am with the ALCO RSD-15. The best part is that one of them operate near my home town
(two if you count the 443,undergoing restoration). [:D][:D][:D]
The 442 is a 6 axle, 2,400 h.p. monster. Formally owned by the ATSF, she was bought by the Austin Steam Train Association to pull trains for ASTA wile the
786, a 2-8-2 Mikido, is being repaired. Here sister engien the 443 is undergoing restoration. Did I tell you that? [:p][:p][:p] Check out this pic by Clyde King of this cool and uniqe locomotive. [:D][:p][:)]
