Built by Alco in August of 1952, the road switcher lasted until retirement in January of 1978. It was leased to the Providence & Worcester RR as their #161. Not sure the date is accurate for this slide as the unit was repainted in PW gray, orange and white scheme around 1973. The color scheme remained at least until 1981. Could be this was a duplicate slide with the wrong date stamp. Robert A. Newbegin color slide |
