NCOK 2873
Title:  NCOK 2873
Description:  CHICKASHA OK March 26 1982 -- North Central Oklahoma Railroad RS36 2873 sits in front of the former Rock Island station. Note the semaphore train order signal at top right. The NCO existed from 1982 to 1985 and is now the Austin, Todd & Ladd Railroad but the AT&L does not roster this unit. Web site http://www.fl9.com/ reports, “Prior to arriving in Oklahoma, this 1800-hosepower unit was one of only forty of this model built by ALCO, and served as the Norfolk & Western 2873 after starting its life as the Nickel Plate 873.” According to http://www.trainweb.org/jaydeet/rs32_36.htm ALCO built the NKP 873 in July 1962.

Description:  ENID OK Jan 10 1982 -- North Central Oklahoma Railroad RS36 2873 sits in bitter cold at the Santa Fe yard. The ambient temperature this day was around -20F. Both my electronic Asahi Pentax KX cameras froze up. I turned to my trusty Honeywell Pentax SP500 and it produced this picture. Yes, I did use a polarizer. The NCO existed from 1982 to 1985 and is now the Austin, Todd & Ladd Railroad but the AT&L does not roster this unit. Web site http://www.fl9.com/ records "Prior to arriving in Oklahoma, this 1800-hosepower unit was one of only forty of this model built by ALCO, and served as the Norfolk & Western 2873 after starting its life as the Nickel Plate 873." According to http://www.trainweb.org/jaydeet/rs32_36.htm ALCO built the NKP 873 in July 1962.
