ALCo's beautiful PA is one of America's most famous locomotives. It was ALCo's entry into the passenger train diesel craze, competing with the E-Units from EMD.
Although Santa Fe's red and silver "Warbonnet" may be the most recognized PA, there were many other notable paint schemes. Delaware & Hudson purchased four second-hand PA locomotives from Santa Fe, simply replacing their blue for Santa Fe's red. Two have recently been repatriated from Mexico and are undergoing restoration.
Rio Grande's PA and PB locomotives require special note for this production. The railroad purchased two A-B-A sets of locomotives for use on the California Zephyr. Delivered in a black paint scheme with yellow stripes, they were quickly repainted in an all-silver scheme with a gold nose to better match the cars of the California Zephyr.
