>From what I can tell, the Burlington's Baldwin VO-1000's and ALCO S-2's were used exclusively as yard switchers throughout their entire, quarter-century careers. This is in sharp contrast to other classes of first-generation diesel switchers on the Q, (almost?) all of which saw occasional road service, with some of them spending a great deal of time out on the road, typically as branchline engines. That was the case for the various EMD NW's and SW's, as well as for the GE 44-tonners and even the early oddball center cabs. Why then were the Baldwins and ALCOs so restricted in their assignments? Or were there exceptions to this rule? Always seeking enlightenment, . . . Jonathan __._,_.___ Posted by: jonathanharris@earthlink.net __,_._,___ |
