A&M ALCO RS-32 #30
The A&M (Arkansas and Missouri) did not exist prior to 1985. I've been to Springdale, Arkansas to see the A&M in action, and just wanted a model of one of their Alcos. When it became available, I couldn't resist. #30 is seen working the Cargill mill at Sedalia on this bright sunny day on the former MV&P layout.

The C30-7 was the original "Dash 7" model of the series that would ultimately propel GE into first place in the locomotive manufacturing market, ahead of General Motors' Electro-Motive Division. The C30-7 model was essentially an upgraded U30C, which was part of the company's earlier Universal line. More than 1,100 units were built for both domestic and foreign railroads.

EMD SD70Ace #1201
In order to meet stricter diesel locomotive emissions standards imposed by EPA Tier II regulations, EMD modified the SD70MAC to create the SD70ACe and SD70M-2. The SD70Ace is powered by a 16-cylinder, 4300-horsepower diesel engine. On the SD70M-2, the prime mover drives an alternator and produces AC current that is rectified to DC current, which powers the traction motors. On the SD70ACe, the DC current is then "chopped" back into AC to power the traction motors.
This locomotive is in my display case. It is too modern to run routinely on the Eagle River Division. Seen here photographed at South Park Yard.
