    Hank,
    The Box Cab you were speaking of was not only ALCO, and Intersol-Rand, but General Electric was involved in it as well. It was B&O R.R. class,DE, road number 1 in 1925. In 1940 the class was changed to DS-1, road number to 195. Then in 1956 it was changed again to B&O R.R. class SA-1 road number 8000. It was scapped in 1959 and rescued from the torch, and now in the "National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis.

    The very first one of these Box Cab switchers was C.N.W. road number 1000, and is now in the B&O Museum.

    I have the history on both these loco's being that they were the first 2 made by ALCO, Intersol-Rand, and General Electric. I have a scale model of the DS-1 #195 as the B&O had it in 1940. A nice little old diesel/electric switcher... I thought the info on the B&O would be appreciated and as it was NOT the first one to be built but the second one the C.N.W. was the first.... :D
