RE: (erielack) ALCO"S

Interesting.  In 1974-1976 they were constantly showing up in Oak Island on
mainline runs.



The LV's expereince was similair. Thye bought some that the Monon returned
to 
Alco. The LV's chief mechanical officer told me he pleaded with executive 
management not to buy the C628s, but the price was right. Further told me 
that the first C628 on a train out of Sayre derailed three times before they

got it out of the yard. The LV also soon assigned the C628s to secondary 
service.
