Alco HH660 High Hood Switcher  Contributor's Pick!       
This is a RARE Alco HH660 high hood swicher currently owned by the Western New York Railway Historical Society. It was originally built in March, 1940 for the Buffalo Creek Railroad. This engine was the first ALCO diesel purchased by the railroad. It entered service on the BCRR on March 18, 1940 and serviced the waterfront industries of the City of Buffalo for over 26 years, when it was sold to RELCO in December, 1966. The locomotive had been in continuous service in various industries across the country since then. When the Society inspected the well traveled and out of service locomotive it was found to be an excellent candidate for restoration and eventual use.
