History of the ALCO C-855 locomotives

In my third 'Obscure Offerings' video, we're taking a brief look at one of the Union Pacific Railroad's more obscure locomotives; the ALCO Century 855. Three of them were built in 1964, but they proved very unreliable and were all scrapped in 1972.

I must stress that this video is NOT copying Ottomatic and his Engines of Union Pacific series, and I wanted to do my own take on the C-855 topic. Plus I tried including 'comedic' edits in a few places.
