ALCO 5
Title:  ALCO 5
Description:  Any time I'm in North Creek I have to check in with my old friend ALCO #5. We first met in the summer of 1993 in front of the Thendara, NY train station on the Adirondack Centennial Railroad. It was my first real trian ride and helped shape the rest of my life. At least she is still around and opperational, even if she doesn't fit into the operations on the SNC.
