NCOK 2873 (Re-scan)         
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.
