Lone Star Plymouth |
Description: |
This anonymous-looking Plymouth was a 25-ton 150-horsepower Model DE diesel-electric loco. It was built under serial number 4689 on 27 August 1943 for the Pratt & Whitney Division of United Aircraft at East Hartford, Connecticut. The loco was purchased by Lone Star Cement in 1946 for use at Dallas (Harrys), then Houston and then Pensacola (Olive), as shown here; before moving on to the Pensacola Division of Florida Mining & Materials. This was one of only five 25-ton Plymouth Model DE units ever built. |
