I want to thank everyone who has looked at and especially those who have commented on the photos I have been posting. You have motivated me to continue with the project and process of going through, scanning, digitally processing and sharing these old photos. I really like the Alcos. We could linger in the 1800's for weeks, I have so many photos of these Alcos. Where are we going today? Well, we are wrapping up the 1800's and getting ready to advance to higher numbers. This group features the later S4s and the first of the Baldwins.
