Short Story #5: The Alco has arrived

 

The Danville County Railroad has a new locomotive on it's locomotive roster and it is Alco S3 #6. It has been painted into the Alexander Railroad Paint Scheme with it's green & yellow colors. It has also been maintained and ready to go for operation as it sits on the mainline track ready for a crew to pick it up.


The side of the locomotive looks excellent where you can the the number 6 under the window on the locomotive cab, as well as the start of the yellow stripe which goes all the way across the engine on both sides. This engine can switch out any car it wants to on the DVCRR, so it's easy to see why it will be very common on these trains coming up.
