Alco PA - Delaware & Hudson

Description
This mod adds an Alco PA with Delaware & Hudson livery. This is a repaint of the generic Alco PA available in-game.

The Alco PA was a diesel passenger locomotive built in the United States by American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and General Electric between June 1946 and December 1953.

The Delaware & Hudson Railway (D&H) was a railroad operating in the northeast United States. Started in 1823, the D&H operated as an independent railroad for 150 years before being purchased by Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) in 1991.

In 1967, the D&H acquired four Alco PA's from the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe (ATSF) . You may notice that the D&H paint scheme is similar to the original ATSF scheme, though the colors and nose stripes were changed. In 1974-1975, these four units were rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen and equipped with ALCO's 251V12 engines and given the designation PA-4. D&H #16 saw it's last paid service in the USA in October 1978. Later it was sold to a Mexican railroad. Finally, this unit was purchased and donated to the Smithsonian Institution with plans to restore it to the original ATSF colors.

@Darkreaper505 - I'll have to decline your request. Long Island didn't have any Alco PA units. Though they did have Alco FA units. While similar, they are different enough that I wouldn't want to paint an Alco PA model to represent an FA unit.

could you make a Long island Alco PA?

@Blast Hardcheese - Delaware & Hudson didn't have booster units, so I didn't include one.

Love the paint job on this one, but where is the booster unit for this?

@soldier312 - Matching coaches would really be nice. Perhaps I will get to that at some point, but currently I can't say.
