I believe it is a 45 ton GE. The one that needed a Engineer and a Fireman. Not the scab 44 tonner built specifically under 90,000lbs to eliminate the Firemans job.

Notice that Uke's scab version is missing the fancy skirts and curvy shit from the "one ton over" *cy*'s incorrect version.

Apologies are in order, Snippy, maybe a couple of your hoarded prizes, too. That engine was at Bloomington, in a earlier day ploy to eliminate the fireboy from the job. http://www.railarchive.net/vintagediesel/nkp90.htm

Bullshit, I've heard the E-Scabs tell me for almost 37 years that I sold the fireman for $1.50.

Let's not be hasty here. A few more submissions from our many members, and readers everywhere should narrow things a bit. But thank you Mr. Snippy anyway!

I speak plain truth, in an attempt to educate the masses about a little historical fact regarding the "Route of High Speed Service" and you tell me this.
On the other hand, I heard the same sorts of things forever, even having been a fireboy in a Full Crew State. Until they finally broke it, circa 1971 or so.

Please quit arguing girls! Meanwhile, digest this (if your tiny brains would...) Clavalina's submission is the correctest so far.
And yes ladies "It" is a GE 45-ton switching locomotive (Sans skirts), with a 'steeple' cab, which allowed a full crew to work out of her.
(Note the counterweighted wheels, and side rods to transmit tractive effort from the single traction motor in each truck).
Thank you all for joining in the fun!
BJPC owes Clalalavlin one prize for his 'winning' submission. An anatomically correct GE 45-tonner! (Like this one tu!)

...and just like last year's contest, entries will be judged for originality, number of submissions, and, whatever we deem appropriate.
Yep. Without further ado, "What's it?"

Uke (That Motherfucker) Steals DieselDucy (A Real Live Train Engine) And Paints Him Thoroughbred Black
GE 44 ton switch engine, you dolt. Reminiscent of the Mighty 90, the Route of High Speed Service's experiment at Bloomington, IL.
