Talk:ALCO FA

message: I have change the statement: "The FA had the same distinctive styling as its larger cousin, the ALCO PA, with a long, straight nose tipped by a headlight in a square, slitted grille, raked windshields, and trim pieces behind the cab windows that lengthened and sleekened the lines."  While the FA was very handsome, one of the major physical differences between the FA and PA (aside from size and axle configuration) is the FA lacks the trim pieces behind the cab windows that gave the PA a truly classic look.  24.29.230.163 (talk) 06:15, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Inaccuracy Regarding Physical Description

message: There is no mention of the rush to production of the FA-1/FB-1 in the post WW2 environment. After the failure of the 241 engine with the Black Maria demonstrators ALCO thought it was imperative to rush the FA-1/FB-1 into production. This was done without any extensive testing of the 244 engine which of course was the FA's weakest link. This is all documented by Richard Steinbrenner in his ALCO: A Centennial Remembrance. --SSW9389 14:28, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Who has good information on the original specification numbers (DL) used on the FA-1s and FB-1s? Steinbrenner uses DL 208 and DL209. Both R. Craig Rutherford and Rolf Stumpf have the original demonstrator FA-1s and FB-1s as DL-204 and DL-205 respectively. Stumpf also lists a DL206 and DL207 on his webpage. Would engine modifications explain the changes in the specification number for these units?--SSW9389 20:34, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

message: "Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway No. 866 is undergoing restoration by a private owner in Portland, Oregon." What's the source on that? Does anyone know WHERE in Portland? I'm assuming its on a railroad siding. The Brooklyn Roundhouse was demolished recently and the engine isn't at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center. --98.246.156.76 (talk) 00:55, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
