Does anyone have a listing of surviving Lima-Hamilton switchers? Or information as to operational status? Thanks!

The Whitewater Valley Railroad has three of the six surviving LH diesel switch locos. One of these has been in daily service since it was received in the early '70s.

ex-CUT 25 -- Operable at WVRR
ex-Armco 709 -- Under full restoration at WVRR
ex-B&O 320 -- Storage at WVRR
ex-CUT 20 -- Private Ownership, Indiana, storage
???? -- Nicholson Terminal and Dock (I believe), operable
ex-??? -- Illinois Transportation Museum, Deadline

These are strong little switchers, with the bulletproof Westinghouse electric gear.
