Viewing Album:  When a Monster came to Abrams.
 
By:Alan Page
Dates:2/21/1977 - 2/26/1977
Album Info:A massive Alco C636 rolled into Abrams yard in late February, 1977. The monster Alco, along with a former PC GP35, dwarfed the standard ex-RDG SW1500's and GP7's that usually handled the yard chores, along with an occasional GP10 and GP30. The strange yard switchers worked together until late in the day.
