Military Railways: Chart of Units

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

While I cannot comment on the Cal St. engine, the GA Power 97, x-USATC 5050 
a sister to the engine in Cal. runs great in Duluth. I have fired her and 
worked on her for nearly 5 years now. We couldn't ask for a better engine to 
run. She is much more reliable when compared to any of our regular diesels 
in service.
