NCOK 2873
After John Mallory’s comment on Tuesday’s blog entry, I could not resist this slide for him when I ran across it last night. North Central Oklahoma Alco RS36 (DL701) 2873 is seen switching in Enid, OK during August of 1983.
Prior to arriving in Oklahoma, this 1800-hosepower unit was one of only forty of this model built by ALCO, and served as the Norfolk & Western 2873 after starting its life as the Nickel Plate 873.
