| Description: |
Wabash H10-44 382, Decatur, Illinois, October 4, 1965, photo by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. The Wabash purchased two H10-44's in November 1946 (380 and 381) and two more in March 1949 (382 and 383), including this example, (c/n 10L101), which later became N&W #3382. Stenciled on the frame below the cab is "D-10", I assume the model designation on the Wabash. The Wabash also acquired three H12-44's from F-M (384-386) in March 1953. This photo presents a minor spotting problem: Most sources generally accept that the spartan cab was introduced in 1952, and those sources also agree that the construction of this unit was in 1949. Perhaps the Wabash removed the roof overhang on this switcher, I don't know for sure. |
