I have a Dave Phillips photo (in the Corbin collection) of 9377 at Red Oak in 1944.  The VO1000s were used regularly on the Red Oak-Shenandoah-Hamburg mixed train from the late '40s into the early '50s, alternating with one of the 44-tonners that also worked the Red Oak yard.  An NW2 got both the yard and mixed train duties in the mid-1950s.  Creston had its own assigned VO1000 during that same period.

Interesting, I have a photo of that Switch Engine #9378 (VO-1000) from my Dad's collection labeled as the Red Oak Switch Engine in approximately 1950. Could be it serviced both yards?

Interesting there was a VO-1000 apparently assigned there. Red Oak only rated a 44 tonner. Maybe Pete could remember when the pictures were taken.
