Here is a link with some old photos of another switcher I used to be associated with.
This is/was a GE 25 tonner. Yup that's right, 25 ton. Except for the addition of the broken window, it's about the same as it was in these pictures as when my former employer, Elliott Company, donated it to a local rail group who was hoping to use it in tourist work or museum display. I don't know if that ever got off the ground but it was a neat little machine. It had an air whistle, a single traction motor with chain drive to the other axle. The full width cab on such a small machine was a nice feature. Of course it needed tons of work, both cosmetic and otherwise. I think when I was at the company we put a new air compressor in it because the shaft was bent on the original. It was used on rare occasions to move flat cars full of big pipe pieces or even spot a car that had been delivered by NS, but for the most part it sat in a corner, condemned to obsolescence by trucks. Maybe I should paint up a replica.
