Alco 1000 #273

Here is Cape Ann 273, an Alco 1000. The railroad got it in a trade for some surplus gondolas. It has not run since it was towed in. Now it is parked on the rear track of Bolton Shops. When the shop crew has nothing better (meaning, revenue producing) to do,  they tinker with it. If they can get it running, it will serve as their shop switcher. So it is unlikely to ever get cleaned up and repainted in Cape Ann colors.
