Hi Guys. Does anyone have information on ehich of todays shortlines still run Alco RS11 locos. I know of the ones from the North East, but i'm looking more for Grainger lines.
I don't believe there are many left in service. Wasn't there one in Illinois? Kankakee, Beaverville & Southern, that had an RS11? Boxcab E50
I'll bet I rode behind her many times as a boy! That was one of my favorite railroads to ride as a boy.
One of these days, I tell you, I will ride The Skunk!!! Yes Kankabee, Beaverville and Southern (KBSR) had a couple. Don't know if they are still there but my friend Jeff has a slide of one.
KB&S has retired all of its Alcos and is using EMD power now. I believe they're rebuilt GP38s or GP40s....
