In its heyday it was the 2nd largest maker of Locomotives in the U.S, and Walter Chrysler of Chrysler Co. got his start there in the 20's designing ALco Automobiles. So me and a buddy decided to get pictures before it's too late. Destruction started yesterday. Hope you enjoy the pictures. 1. 2. 3. 4. Some outside views of the buildings 5. Inside 6. Trekkin through sludge 7. 8. Inside, and a Crane switch 9. Graffiti in the locker rooms 10. 11. Out the Exit 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Generator or a Turbine? 18. 19. This small dilapitdated building was right on the river. 20. 21. We didn't! 22. 23. Say goodbye to American Locomotive forever! I hope you enjoyed some of the pictures.

A shame it's being knocked down. This is the first I've heard of it. Now it's too late. Nice shots, though a few are too dark.

I've been wanting to get out and explore that place for a long while now, but I am just never in that part of the state with enough time to do it. sleeperspirit  Location: allentown  |  Re: R.I.P American Locomotive Buildings (Soon) <Reply # 5 on 11/16/2010 2:51 AM >   what a shame UER Forum > Archived US: Northeast > R.I.P American Locomotive Buildings (Soon) (Viewed 5980 times) All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
