William Grimes General too big to be a 44-ton...looks like en ex-navy 80-ton. 10/28/2015 8:43:20 PM
Dave Stewart-Candy General I'm going to be re-visiting it next month so plan to take some measurements, etc. It's possible it's also a 65-ton but hood length is too short for 80-ton. It's not that big, smaller than some 70 tons I've see up close. Not enough hood doors, just 3 and not 5 in photos of GE 80 tons I've seen. 10/28/2015 9:07:51 PM
Dave Stewart-Candy General Wasn't able to get close to this last weekend (as the cafe establishment looked closed) but seeing this again, I'm sure this is a 65-tonner of the 1940-1947 GE design. Found a photo in Diesel First 50 years (p.199) that is identical to this model. 11/26/2015 10:43:57 PM
