Dates:1/1/1967 - 3/1/1969
Album Info:Nice collection of b&w photos of Monon Alco diesels. The photos are stamped with March, 1969 but the date is in conflict with a few of the locos spotted on the property so these may be a group of mixed reprints. No information was marked on the photos.

MON Alco C626 #404 - Monon RR
Title:  MON Alco C626 #404 - Monon RR
Description:  This poor quality action photo is of Monon Alco C626 #404 built in March of 1964. The loco lasted for 3 years on the Monon before being sold to Alco Products Company in September of 1967. In turn, Alco Products sold it to Lehigh Valley as their #637. The date stamped on the photo margin is March, 1969 which can't be accurate for the photo date as it was off property by then, so March of 1967 was used instead.

MON Alco C420 #511 - Monon RR
Title:  MON Alco C420 #511 - Monon RR
Description:  Brutish snout of the Alco C420 locomotive built in August of 1967 for the Monon RR. It only got to serve the Monon for a few years before the Monon merged into the L&N in 1971 and this loco became LN #1328. No information was listed on the photo and the date stamped on the photo margin may not be the actual date the photograph was taken. The amount of road grime seems to place it in 1969 however.
