In an effort to keep up with the metric buttload of 48/830 class photos I have recently been scanning for the interwebs, I decided upon placing a good portion of them on the blog in an effort to share them all faster.
I know many out there in Railfanworld have an irrational hatred of my blog posts and, to those people, I offer my humblest apologies for further enhancing these strange attitudes.
Alas, this will be an ongoing series for a while. So, let that be a warning for any of those with an inexplicable dislike for these wonderful little ALCo locomotives.
