Dude, those Alcos are HOT.

Thanks JD. Leader is ex CP 4233 (IIRC) and it never looked that good when I was it in red paint. By the time they got to the yard at the Snowflake paper mill, thunder storms had rolled in with heavy rains. We actually saw a dead tree (about 100' tall) on fire south of Flagstaff... had just been hit by lightning.

Nothing for me. Went to the Marion CRHS event then kept driving out to Minnesota,

Fun drive, I've done it several times. You went though my old stomping grounds in Tomah.

I think that was the rest area we stopped at in Wisconsin. The wife like the resorts she saw on the way up, maybe in a few years, we'll come back out here and stay there. My parents used to take us all out to the Dells as kids on the way to relatives in South Dakota or Minnesota,

Yeah the Dells has changed quite a bit. I was there 2 years ago, and before that it had been about 12-14years...man what a difference!
