Great catch, will miss the Alco’s

[@Joe-d7m6k]

Why??? Where are they going??

[@MitchsModelRailroad]

Because of emissions most Alco’s will be retiring. I am not sure but I believe in the next few years.

[@Joe-d7m6k]

​@@MitchsModelRailroadany idea, as to what is going to replace them??

[@MitchsModelRailroad]

Not sure but I heard EMD’s. Again I am not positive but this is what I am hearing.

[@MitchsModelRailroad]

The LA&L received a 12.6 million in Federal funds to upgrade and replace their locomotives with cleaner ones. That’s why the rumored Alco replacement.

[@GriffinBrooks17]

Great video, I gotta get out and record the LA&L soon. 420s horn sounds a little fouled

[@DieselElevators]

Thank you! Yeah, the horn definitely needs a little help.
