Rock Island Marks Centennial With Continuing Program of Dieselization |
| Description: |
1952 RR Publication two page advertisement caption included: A continuing program of dieselization keynotes the long-range planning of the Rock Island as it enters its second century of railroading this month. Aided by a fleet of 95 ALCO-GE locomotives, this “railroad of planned progress” already has dieselized 85% of its operations. First to dieselize completely its suburban service into Chicago, the Rock Island selected ALCO-GE road switchers almost exclusively to handle this high-speed passenger service. Whether in passenger or switching service, or heading up the crack ROCKET freights, economical ALCO-GE locomotives are helping the Rock Island to win more and more tonnage to the rails. |

Great closeup color slide by an unknown photographer of the New York New Haven & Hartford FA-1 #0421 built by Alco in Septermber of 1947. The downhill slide of the New Haven is becoming evident when looking at the condition of this once beautiful loco. The photographer listed this as milepost 0293 - does anyone know if that is accurate for Maybrook, NY? |

LNE FA-1 #702 - Lehigh & New England |
| Description: |
This appears to be a photo taken during the transition between LNE control and its new owner L&N who repainted the unit with solid stripes rather than the 3 pinstripe nose. It still carries the LNE number 702 which will be changed to LN #333 later. No rr name appears on the side. No date, location or photographer was listed on the back of the photo so the date and location are "guess-timations". With Warren Evans help (see comment below), I have reset the date. With Craig Ealey's help, the location has been established as Pen Argyl, PA (see comment below). If anyone has more info on this unit, it would be appreciated. |

1952 RR Publication full page advertisement caption included: Through a hundred years of progress the Erie has scored notable “firsts.” It was the first long-distance railroad. First to use telegraph in its operations. First to link the Atlantic seaboard with the Great Lakes. First to transport California fresh fruit to the New York market… and one of the first railroads to engage in major dieselization. Today 172 Alco-GE diesel-electrics – largest fleet of any builder – are helping this great railroad to win traffic back to the rails. |

Shore Line Branch Local |
| Description: |
What this image lacks in sharpness it more than makes up for in its subject matter! Gulf Mobile & Ohio FA1 units 735 and 748 were pulling up to the Slidell, Louisiana depot on the "back track" with the southbound Shore Line Branch local. After exchanging paperwork with the operator, the train would back up to North Slidell and then continue on its journey from Bogalusa to Covington and back. Notice the footboards on the 735's pilot to make the unit more suitable for local service. |
