The New Haven bought 10 unique 600 HP swithcers from GE in 1936. 5 had CB's and 5 had Ingersol Rands. The units with CB engines were sold to the Bangor and Aroostook.. These were subseuently retired. However, one of these unit's unique trucks survived at BAR's Northern Maine Junction shop as a shop truck. I last saw it in 1980. Does anybody know if the truck survives?

A picture of a unit and trucks can be found in the "Second Diesel Spotters Guide" page GE 147.
