Look at these smokin' hot locos, throwing black plumes of diesel exhaust into the air, while i'm singing, "Don't waste your time on me, you're already the voice inside my head". These Delaware and Hudson ALCO PAs were inspired by a few 1970s photographs by John F. Bjorklund in the archives of the CRP&A.
