Restored Alco PA No. 190, after a week-long pause at Chicago’s Clearing Yard on its cross-country move from Portland, Ore., has resumed its trip to its new home with Genesee Valley Transportation. Photographer Bruce Stahl caught No. 190 eastbound Friday on a Norfolk Southern train west of South Bend, Ind., trailing four NS and BSNF units.
Genesee Valley acquired the PA from preservationist Doyle McCormack in March. Once it reaches GVT’s Von Storch Locomotive Shops in Scranton, Pa., work will begin to return the locomotive to operating condition for use on the company’s office-car train and other special corporate excursions [see “Genesee Valley Transportation acquires PA …,” Trains News Wire, March 2, 2023, and “Genesee Valley Transportation prepares for move …,” News Wire, March 20, 2023].
