disposition of SOU Aco switchers

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Southern Railway : One Thread

Hi,

I'm looking for SPECIFIC dispositions of the several Alco S-1 and S-2 switchers owned by the Southern and their subsidiary roads.

I believe that several of these units eventually made their way to Weirton Steel in Weirton, WV where they were used as parts locomotives in the rebuilding of Weirton's original Alco fleet.

Can anyone help?

Regards,

Ron Stafford
