Algiers, Winslow & Western

Here are a couple of shots of the AW&W in southern Indiana. Interesting Alco power here: an S4 and two RS1s, both of which began life working for the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway.

As I understand it, this railroad, a coal hauler, is only nineteen miles long. I’m not certain, but these images may have been taken in Oakland City, Indiana.

Two images by Richard Koenig; taken December 5th 1976.
