Charlie Sheen vs. bloody-nose gator
Have you seen the teaser for Charlie Sheen's new show "Anger Management?" The one where he derails a whole train led by espee colored RS32 #4009? The alligator with the operational gyralite? LEADING the EMD, where it belongs? Of course, they never show the locomotive derailed (obvious railfan sin), but he does a good job rolling the rest of the train off the rails......it's his 24th chance!
Oh, and here's a good roster shot, too!:

The ALCo's of the early 1960's (RS32 & RS36) dont have the same fame as their earlier and later brothers. The 32 is a 2000hp and the 36 1800hp. MIGN had one of them (32 IIRC). Don't know much about them. I will have to wikki them sometime.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Re: Charlie Sheen vs. bloody-nose gator
The Alliagator's were RSD-15's with a low nose. Railroad to purchas the low nose versons, were the ATSF (50) & SP (13 total) companies (TNO & SSW). The nose on the RSD-7's and 15's were the same length, but it was the low nose verson that got the nickname. That unit there has the standard lenght ALCO pre-Century series nose. Sorry cant seam to find any diagrams or info on the diffrence in length for the nose, but I would guess its about 2 1/2 feet to 3 feet longer.
Typical RSD-15 nose.
Typical normal ALCO low nose.
Wow now my next question is, I know about the HR412W's that GLLX/MQT had, but when did GLLX get C420's?

Re: Charlie Sheen vs. bloody-nose gator
The GLLX reporting marks were loaned by the GLLX Godfather to the guy that owned that C420 for it's move over NS a few years ago. Not sure where that engine ended up.

Last I saw her she was at North Judson, IN on the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum's property. My photo:
Kind of an interesting find considering I was there for NKP 765...

A recent movie, Man On A Ledge, has a New York & Atlantic train smash into a car at the Fresh Pond Yard in Queens.
