T 6 18 is on the shop tracks at Springdale awaiting attention. Almost ten years from now, I will see it working the Springdale yard. Only 55 of these units were sold in the us, with N&W getting 40. They were produced between March 1958 and January 1969, with a gap from 1959-1964 when none were built. The fact that it is still with us is in itself remarkable, not to mention working daily almost a half century after Alco quit. |
