L&N Alco RS-3 Switcher. No. 173

Corbin, KY. March 13, 1956

Alco RS-3 switcher, of which the L&N owned about 100.  These were all sold off by the late 60s.  Most were painted all black prior to 1958.

Corbin had a much larger shop structure (and area) than Radnor in Nashville, TN. RS-3s were common in Corbin since they were used in profusion on the coal branches off of the Cumberland Valley Division which joined the mainline at Corbin.  RS-3s were quite rare in Nashville, although the TC had a few.
