RR museums have more than their share of odd industrial locomotives, but I haven't seen one like this yet. Apparently a shop switcher on the Milwaukee Road. http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?march03/03-30-03/cmst+p5801G.jpg ryarger@rypn.org |

I'm pretty sure its a center cab Whitcomb of pre-1930 design. Mr. Jay Reed's "Critters, Dinkys and Centercabs" has nothing like it, but picture on the top of page 169 has the dimond name plate just like this engine. Ed ff1044@aol.com |
