Mystery Alco S4 #9103

Name	Type	Comments	Date

Tom Beckett	General	Judging by the color, and typeface of the number, looks like might be ex B&O. The number makes sense, too. Just a wild guess.	2/13/2024 2:40:04 AM

Tom Beckett	General	Check this, it kinda matches. This one was working at a power plant in South Amboy NJ in 1979. Paint scheme very similar, except for the frame stripe, but this many years later, no surprise it may have been repainted. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3723907	2/13/2024 2:42:51 AM

Tom Beckett	General	A little digging found a flickr photo of this unit at Layne & Myers in Indy; further check shows a Layne & Myers Grain Co in New Market Ind. A place to start, anyway.	2/13/2024 3:50:49 AM

Rev. Jonathan Spurlock	General	Adding to Mr. Beckett's comments, here's a link to a photo of B&O 9103 on the northeast.railfan.net site: 033165 No location for that photo, but my guess--based on the level terrain--is somewhere around Cincinnati or Indiana. Here's hoping you can get all the puzzle pieces together.	2/13/2024 10:11:49 AM

Rev. Jonathan Spurlock	General	Let me try again with the URL: https://www.rr-fallenflags.org/bo/bo9103kla.jpg . I goofed on the other set of numbers (where did THOSE come from?)	2/13/2024 10:14:19 AM

Mystery Alco S4 #9103 - HELP!!!!
I can't find a single reference to this loco anywhere - can't even find its correct remporting mark. All I know is the info listed on the color slide taken by Bob Elliot - "Haw Crk S4 9103, Roachdale, IND" and a slide date stamp of December, 1981. Can anyone know anything about this Alco survivor???
