Easy Confusion

Mike:
 
You are correct.  My comment was based on circumstances much later in  
their respective histories.
 
Thanks for doing the research.

Dave,


Seems like a quick check of ALCO history on the internet indicates MLW  was 
once a subsidiary. Of course, the complete downhill record of ALCO is full  
of take-overs and loss of important partnerships.

You are correct, it's a MLW.  However, they were an independent  company, a 
licensee of ALCO, not a subsidiary.

The CN at Spencer was not an ALCO. I posted this photo to 
_Railpictures.net_ (http://railpictures.net/)  and in short order  had a correction comment 
submitted advising me that ALCO never made a  FPA-4. They were built by MLW 
(which was, of course, a subsidiary of  ALCO). I corrected my entry but note 
that other, later, posting of the  same loco are calling it an ALCO.
