Tom Beckett General Lots to see here. Aside from the FP 7, which was not a common unit, only a few roads had them, you have an F7B, a C 425, probably also ex PRR, and what looks to be an ex LV C 628 trailing. Mingo Jct was an Alco haven in the early Conrail years, largely due to the prevalence of heavy haul mineral traffic-ore and coal-to the steel mills in the area. Alcos were known for their good pulling abilities, so this was a natural assignment for them. 11/8/2019 4:02:08 AM
