ALS 0-8-0 #9 - Alton & Southern Rwy
Title:  ALS 0-8-0 #9 - Alton & Southern Rwy
Description:  Here is an example of a 3 cylinder Alco built steam locomotive that served the Alton & Southern Rwy. Rare in the US, the 3 cylinder configuration flourished better in Europe. The original b&w photo is a poor quality due to its age and deterioration. The date listed is approximate. A. B. Jefferis name appears on the back.
