Description
Railroad Short Name: EL
This detailed Alco FA1 locomotive is based on cab units introduced in the late 1940s, under a partnership from the American Locomotive Company (Alco) and General Electric. The FA series was Alco’s foray into the market. The F designation meant their design and usage would be best suited for “freight,” although the FA and matching FB1 “Booster” unit could be seen in service almost anywhere. Over 600, 400 of them being FAs, were built from 1946 to 1956. Many of these saw service for secondary owners as late as the 1970s. The FA1 and FB1 will capture the rugged look on a road freight moving tonnage.
