Happy new year Bob --
I was fortunate to get a last chance tour of Alco Schenectady while they
were still building the Centuries (spring 1967). There were not many of
the old, big machines still left, but there were a few including huge
rollers. They were still cutting heavy sheet steel on gang torch cutting
tables, such things as drop equalizers for the loco trucks. Other than
the noise, I wish I could have gone through Baldwin or Alco or Lima in their
steam days...
Have fun!

I have to admit, though, that just as interesting as the machines these MEN
built is the machinery they built them WITH!
