Railroad Museum in Uiwang

When we went to the Railroad Museum in Uiwang a few years ago. My favorite there was this ALCO DL-532, Korail 3102. This locomotive is in the older "tiger stripe" colors, but they have faded over the years. 49 of these were delivered to Korea from the United States government, and 43 of them were eventually converted to GM-EMD 8-645E under the hood to make it easier to get parts after ALCO went bankrupt, and renumbered 3200. This is the only remaining locomotive from the 49. I recall three steam locomotives (11-13 narrow gauge, Pacific 5-23, Mika 3-161) at the museum, too, but there may be more.
