Complete Set |

The closest thing one can get to an A-B-A set of Alco/MLW locomotives in the 21st century. The LIRR unit was built by Alco for the New Haven while the NYC units were built by MLW for the Canadian National. |

LI 617 |
| Description: |
Constructed by Alco in 1947 for the New Haven Railroad as an FA-1, this locomotive was mainly used to handle freight trains between Maybrook, NY and New Haven. Purchased by the LIRR in 1974, it was converted into a cab control car for use with Long Island commuter equipment, serving with numerous C-420s, GP38-2s and MP15s before retirement. |

LI 617 |
| Description: |
A former Long Island Railroad rebuilt Power Pack is on home rails in the yard, originally constructed by Alco as New Haven Railroad 0428 an FA-1. Assigned to pull mainline freight on the New Haven, it was retired by Penn Central and sold to the Long Island. The LIRR had the unit rebuilt as a cab control unit for use on diesel powered trains, first working with Alco C-420s and later EMD MP15 and GP38-2 units. It is one of two known New Haven FA-1s to survive today. |
