Units 1247 - 1276
were built for domestic use and units 4001 - 4044 were designed for foreign
use and had special axles that allowed the wheels to be easily moved to
fit a variety of gauges. At 39 feet 2.5 inches, the foreign use units are
slightly longer than their counterparts designed for domestic use. The foreign
use units were equipped with engine heaters to allow for operation in
temperatures down to as low as minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Unit 1281 named the "General Nathanael Greene" was an experimental prototype with a hydraulic torque converter transmission. Ordered in 1952 it went into service in 1955. It was the last locomotive built at Eddystone which was assigned a Whitcomb construction number. |
