You need to join the Facebook group ‘Alco Locomotive Operators’ to see the image, but if the one I found is the one Joerg is referring to, I think he is right and it does look like an FA1.

Shuttered section of radiator looks to be hard up against the rear of the loco and the rear fan is pretty much too, which I thought indicated an FA1 (FA2 has an extra section of grille behind the shuttered section and it and the fan are further forward.)

Hopefully someone more expert than me can go have a look and comment.
