Hi Dave,

    Thanks for looking. The loco I was asking about was built by ALCo in
Jan 1947 (the last steam switcher built by ALCo for domestic use in the
US) It was the last of a small order of 0-6-0's built for the Aliquippa
& Southern RR here in the Pgh area. It was sold to Republic Steel and
transfered to the Youngstown/Warren area. It was scrapped in 1960. I
have the number plate from it.

I have seen a photo of it while in service on the A&S but was thinking
there may have been a photo of it in the book you spoke of. Thanks
again, Gary
